[TxMt] Ctl + Tab like in Visual Studio?

Mon Mar 12 04:25:22 UTC 2007


I know ctl+tab right now switches focus between the text and the
sidebar, which I think is very useful and I don't think that feature
should go away, I just really would like a way to switch between the
most recently edited file and the one I'm currently working on...

I realize that I could order my tabs so that I could use apple +
option and left or right, but I would love not to have to care what
order my tabs are in to be able to switch between the 2 most recently
edited files. Visual Studio has this feature as I mentioned in the
subject through the ctl+tab feature. I use quite frequently.

Any possibility we could see this implemented?

Thanks,
-Jon
