Description
currently the ^ key will switch between the previously visited tab and the one you are currently on but it would be very useful to have a way to traverse tabs I was on in a linear history of when I was on them last. I suspect this should be possible as the X command will reopen tabs that were last closed in the order they were closed which suggests there is some mechanism for retaining this sort of history natively in the browser.

Define how linear tab history should behave, including traversal and interaction with current tab switching, then verify that the feature can move through previously visited tabs in visit order.
