Research direction

No files, tests, or entry points are named. Start by locating the keyboard-shortcut handling and document focus/navigation code, then determine where recent document history belongs. Done should include a shortcut that switches between recently focused files, with the opened-document popup behavior clarified before implementation.

Written by the indexing model from the issue text.

Description

enhancement

Working with large documents causes many involved files.
During typing, it is necessary to change the file to be modified several times and sometimes back and forth between 2 files or frequently go back to a specific file. (Think of Glossaries, Symolslists, Definitions, outsourced tables...)
Actually, there is a shortcut to move to the previous or next document (CTRL+PgUp/Down).
But commonly, those files are not (or mostly not) next to the files one is entering the text.

So, a shortcut to switch back and forth between the last two focussed files would be very helpful.

I know one can define a shortcut to each file currently opened.

More easy a shortcut to open the popup menu like "List of opened documents", where it could be a further (later) enhancement to enumerate the entries by a two digit letter label to directly jump to an entry.
