Description

When there are more than 2 tabs open I would really love to switch tabs in the most recently used order.

This allows me to quickly toggle between two tabs, and forms groupings automatically by usage, which is a great intuition to develop. This is similar to alt-tabbing or command tabbing on major OS's (or even in Firefox!).

Would be incredible to have this implemented.

Research direction

Start by tracing Rio's Rust input handling and tab management to find where tab-switching behavior is defined. Confirm how existing tab navigation works, then implement most-recently-used ordering for more than two tabs and verify that switching back and forth between two tabs follows usage order.
