It seems so. Currently, the tabs are always displayed :-).

The navigator window may be collapsed. Then, if the switch action 
(Ctrl-Tab) is invoked, the navigator window appears, allows the user to 
quickly navigate and then it is collapsed back.

There could be a rule that if the navigator is not displayed at all, the 
action for switching between files behaves the same as it does now, i.e. 
a pop-up window with a list of files is displayed. The editor area then 
provides a button (or another GUI element) which makes the current 
"semi-opened" file a regular open file. I guess it would be somewhere 
near the file name (which must be displayed somewhere, anyway).
