Another possibility is to just right-click on any tab and choose the
desired tab from the opening list. This is the way I mostly navigate
through tabs which are far away from each other.

Alt-[1-0] are defined by Geany and can't be changed. Alt-[1-9] switches
to the 9 left tabs according to the typed number and Alt-0 switches to
the most right tab. While writing this, an idea comes to my mind:
perhaps this could be inverted (tabs 1-9 from left to right, and most
right tab to most left tab) according to the "Placement of new file
tabs" option.
Nick, what do you think?
