What key would be good for that? Maybe it should just re-arrange tabs 
(i.e. move the tab you go to, to the right of the current) when 
selecting the new tab either with the new file chooser or go to 
header/source from the Navigation menu.

Well, for starters I use my _keyboard_ when I code and not my mouse! :)

I do however have a macro to select the current method (i.e. out to the 
left/right brackets) which continue to the surrounding method when 
executed again. Basically it's a recording of:

  1) find previous: “[”
  2) move left (to deselect the bracket)
  3) find next: “\[[^\[\]]*(?R)?[^\[\]]*\]”

I think it can also be made to handle parenthesis by using a capture 
for the first character and a condition for the last. But if I write 
it, I'll probably damage the reputation of regular expressions ;)

I can include this macro with beta 3, and I'll keep in mind that you 
have an obsessive need to double-click your brackets/parenthesis when 
you program! :)
