I guessed it could be hard to understand for others because it was hard
to me to express it ;-).
I try again:
Currently, pressing Alt-1 switches to the most left document. Alt-1 to
the document right of the most left one and so on.
Alt-0 switches to the most right document.

You know about "Placement of new file tabs" option? It defines whether
new file tabs are placed on the left or right edge of the notebook.

The idea was to change the behaviour of the Alt-number shortcuts
according to the setting of "Placement of new file tabs".

That is, when using
- "Placement of new file tabs" -> Right
  Alt-1 switches to the most left(first opened) document
  Alt-2 switches to the right of the most left(second opened) document
  ...
  Alt-0 switches to the most right(last opened) document
- "Placement of new file tabs" -> Left
  Alt-1 switches to the most right(first opened) document
  Alt-2 switches to the left of the most right(second opened) document
  ...
  Alt-0 switches to the most left(last opened) document

The code was already written by Nick and just has to be enabled. I
would suggest to just enable it without adding a preference or at least
without adding a GUI preference for it.

Regards,
Enrico
