igorlfs created an issue (vim/vim#20965) **Is your feature request about something that is currently impossible or hard to do? Please describe the problem.** When using `<C-Tab>` to switch to the last accessed tab, closing the current tab turns the mapping into a NOOP, even if other tabs were accessed. It looks like the "last accessed tab" is just a single pointer, when it could be a "list". More concretely: 1. `:tabnew` 2. `:tabnew` 3. `<C-Tab>` 4. `:tabclose` 5. `<C-Tab>` becomes NOOP, in spite of the first being accessed at some point **Describe the solution you'd like** Each tab should have a timestamp assigned to it (as in, its last access), and `<C-Tab>` should use this information to accurately switch to the last (accessed) tab, even after closing tabs. The implementation details don't matter too much, this is just the idea. **Describe alternatives you've considered** This probably could be achieved with a remap and some autocmds, but it'd be nice to be a built-in feature. **Additional context** N/A -- Reply to this email directly or view it on GitHub: https://github.com/vim/vim/issues/20965 You are receiving this because you are subscribed to this thread.
