Research direction
Investigate Theia's keybinding configuration in packages/core/src/common/keybinding.ts and the tab navigation logic in packages/editor/src/browser/editor tab bar.ts. Look at how VS Code implements its recently used tab list. The change involves modifying the 'ctrl+tab' keybinding to cycle through the most recently used editors rather than the next tab. Check if there are existing utilities for managing MRU order in the editor widget.
