I believe the updated tabbed file enhancements were introduced around EmEditor 7. However, ever since this changed behavior, my editing experience has never been the same :(
In a nutshell, I really miss the original tabbing capabilities of EmEditor. The ability to simply CTRL + TAB to the next tab (chronologically) and CTRL + SHIFT + TAB to go back. That’s it. The sorting was simply chronological, based on the current “View” (or sorting) of the open tabs, no re-arrangement, etc.
While the new Tab arrangement features are nice to have, I have found myself constantly having to Work-Around this “feature”. It is very frustrating to want to jump one, or even three tabs ahead, but be limited from doing so and only being able to jump based on which was Last Active, by file type, or alphabetically, etc.
Auto-Arrange is the best attempt at curing this issue, however once a tab is activated, it is forced back to the beginning and can throw off the entire sequence. Argh! This is especially concerning when there are 10-20+ open tabs at one time :(
In short, if there is something I am missing, please let me know! How can I keep my own defined arrangement for my tabs (drag and drop re-ordered, etc) and be able to change tabs chronologically, as some of the best tabbed applications handle them: FireFox, iTerm, etc.
Is there anyway EmEditor 8 can feature a new “Arrange tabs by” option to reintroduce this missing tab behavior?
Thank you for such a wonderful editor, Emurasoft! +1 for Mac OS X port :)

I am not sure exacly what you need, but did you check “Switch to Last Used Document for Next Document Command” in the Window tab of the Customize dialog box?
