Keep an MRU list of tabs

Thanks for filing an issue! Please answer the questions below so I can help you.

• iTerm2 version:3.0.11
• OS version:10.11.6
• Attach ~/Library/Preferences/com.googlecode.iterm2.plist here (drag-drop from finder into this window)
• Attach a debug log, if possible. Instructions at https://iterm2.com/debuglog
• Are you reporting a performance issue or a hang? Please attach a sample. Instructions at https://gitlab.com/gnachman/iterm2/wikis/HowToSample
• Are you reporting a crash? Please attach the crash log. Instructions at https://gitlab.com/gnachman/iterm2/wikis/crash-logs

Detailed steps to reproduce the problem: 1.Create a bunch of tabs 2.Hop around between them 3.Close one of the middle ones and see that the one to its left becomes active.

What happened:When I close an iTerm2 tab focus automatically goes to the tab to its left.

What should have happened:I'd prefer it to go to the most recently used tab.

This already exists and is by default bound to control-tab (and control-shift-tab to go in the reverse direction). The key action is called "Cycle Tabs Forward" and "Cycle Tabs Backward".

Status changed to closed

I think we're talking about slightly different things. I may have phrased it badly and I'm glad the MRU data exists, but the issue described still seems valid to me. When I create and then close a tab, I'd prefer to return to the MRU tab rather than the one to the left of the closed tab. When servicing interrupts, say to look into a problem reported by a co-worker, I fire up a new tab, deal with the problem, and then want to return to what I was doing before rather than having to hunt around for the previously active tab.

Oh, I got it. Yeah, that's a good idea.
