What is the shortcut to focus back on the Atom editor when focus is on the tree-view? And the opposite?

Is there in atom.io a shortcut to get the focus back on the editor (maybe even on a particular pane) when the tree has the focus?

I've checked on the documentation but I couldn't find anything.

On fedora 29 Workstation(Gnome desktop), Linux.
Use the keybinding (keyboard shortcuts) , ALT+\, for toggle between "Tree View" and Editor area.

I prefer a Ctrl+[number] combination for switching between panels, tree view and editor.

You can add the following lines to your keymap.cson file [1] to change the default Atom keybindings.

'.tree-view':
  'ctrl-1': 'tree-view:unfocus'

'.platform-win32':
  'ctrl-3': 'tree-view:toggle-focus'

This would result in:

Ctrl + 3 to focus on the tree-view Ctrl + 1 to go back to editor

[1]: To access the keymap file, type ctrl + , to access Atom settings and go to Keybindings >> "Your keymap file" Ps. remember to maintain the indentation
