Stack of files to allow 'alt-tab'-like behaviour [message #50189]

I want to be able to treat my open files as a stack in most-recently-used
order. Then I could switch between them with a keystroke (i.e. ctrl-tab
would bring up the last edited file, ctrl-tab-tab would bring up the
second last edited file etc). This kind of behaviour is used in:
Windows (alt-tab)
Textpad (ctrl-tab)
Intellij IDEA (ctrl-e)

Anyone know if I can do it in Eclipse? If there's not already a plugin I
might consider writing one...

Hi,

You can use Ctrl+F6 for changing between open files, Ctrl+F7 for views,
Ctrl+F8 for perspectives.

HTH,

These may not provide you with exactly what you're looking for, but they
are close:

Ctrl + F6 (Next Editor)
Ctrl + Shift + F6 (Previous Editor)

Alt + Arrow_Right (Forward History)
Alt + Arrow_Left (Backward History)
