Ctrl+Alt+o (quick open) is what you are looking for, right? It uses a least-recently-used list. (In reply to comment #1) > Ctrl+Alt+o (quick open) is what you are looking for, right? It uses a > least-recently-used list. That is basically the same as the "tab-list" of the old plugin I mentioned. What I really want is a single short cut to switch to the last used open file, exactly the way it is done for windows when pressing alt+tab. With quick open I have to press Return additonally to actually switch to the last file. Other issues are: - switching in the opposite direction (for windows you can do that with alt+shift+tab) - switching further than just the last file (for windows you can do that with alt+tab, tab, ... (keep alt pressed and press tab several times)) Under MS Windows it is pretty common for editors to have that functionallity assigned with ctrl+tab and ctrl+shift+tab. For now I have assigned ctrl+tab to quick open, that is a workaround I can live with.

Ctrl+Tab also works in other applications like Mozilla Firefox but out of the box not in a most recently used manner, though. > For now I have assigned ctrl+tab to quick open, that is a workaround I can > live with. Good idea. That prevents inserting tabs when Ctrl+Tab is pressed out of habit. What about to assign Ctrl+Tab as additional default alternate shortcut to Ctrl+Alt+o? That would immediately help new users until the "Ctrl+(Shift)+Tab behaviour" can be implemented. See also experience from a former kdevelop user: http://alt.my/2012/03/switching-tabs-in-kde-kate/ Ctrl+(Shift)+Tab seems to be standard not only in Windows but also in Mac: https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=104997#c35 > ...not only in MS Windows editors but also in kdevelop. :) I switched from Windows to Linux and I am also missing the Ctrl+(Shift)+Tab shortcut in kate.
It's also used in Linux in QtCreator :-). I miss the Ctrl+(Shift)+Tab shortcut in Kate, too. It's very useful! You go from the present document to the last one, and back; without going looking through all the file list. You just use a hotkey.
It's as useful as using Alt+(Shift)+Tab once, instead of keeping pressed Alt and having to press Tab until you arrive to the desired window.
If you please, vote for this bug to be solved :-).
