What do you mean by "move tab"?

Do you mean "change the tab stop"?
No, but you can change them at Windows --> Preferences --> General --> Text Editors
One size fits all, though.

Do you mean move the cursor by jumping over words?
Try Ctrl+left and Ctrl+right.

I mean moving the editor tab that has a name of the file and x for close the editor. In firefox, the tab of the open site can be moved from second place to first position by pressing Ctrl + Shift + PgUp

I usually just grab it with the mouse and move it to where I want it.
There's no shortcut key to do this AFAIK.
