Hello everybody. I would like to submit another feature request which I think could be useful to many :)

When cycling trough file tabs with ctrl and Page Up/ Page Down, I would like to be able to switch to the first tab when I reach the last tab and press ctrl + PgDown one more time (it would be the same from the first to the last)

I use this "feature" a lot in softwares like xfce-terminal and firefox and think it could save some time when you have to reach one of the firsts files you opened but you are currently editing the latests files.

One thing I'd like is if there were a pref setting to make cycling through the open buffers either go alphabetically (as shown in the "Open files" tab of the Sidebar) or in the order of the editor tabs (as it currently does).

There probably should even be an automated switch that works like so:

A. When I've got editor tabs hidden but the Sidebar visible, buffers cycle alphabetically,

B. When I've got editor tabs visible but the Sidebar hidden, buffers cycle by tab order,

C. When both or neither are visible, the order goes by whatever you set it to in the preferences.

Having that would actually work very nicely if Enrico goes ahead with changing the "View --> Toggle all additional widgets" to hide the editor tabs but keep the Sidebar visible.

Currently, if I have

* a bunch of files open, * the Sidebar visible showing the open files, and * editor tabs hidden

and I hit Ctrl-PgDn repeatedly, it switches through buffers in a seemingly random order. :)
