Yes, this is what I've been doing, and it works ok if there's only two files you want to see.

I currently have a whole bunch of files open, but am primarily working on 4 files --- 2 in one project, and 2 that look very similar in a different project. The four tabs are not anywhere near each other, and selecting and dragging the tabs to be near each other is a pain, because the GUI doesn't let the tab move beyond the end of the window, so I have to drag, drop it, click the arrow a bunch of times to move the tabs one more chunk over to one side, then go find the one I want again and drag it again, and continue until it's where I want.

It would be very useful if I could git Ctrl-. and just cycle through each of the 4 files.

Also the split screen plugin is excellent for viewing 2 files at the same time.

You can use the tabs at the top or go to the View menu and enable the
Sidebar. Then you can either click the tabs at the top or the file
names in the sidebar to go back and forth.
