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.

You could try the NumberedBookmarks plugin. I haven't used it and when I 
just tried it I couldn't get the keybindings in the README to work, but 
I barely tried. If I understand correctly it lets you set 9 bookmarks 
(presumably they can be in different files?) and use keybindings to jump 
to them.

Another thing that might be useful is the Commander plugin, where you 
can hit a keybinding and then type in a file's name and select/jump to 
the file.
