Given that this is a very significant change to default behavior, we should keep the old sequential behavior as the default switching technique and expose MRU tabbing through its own setting.\r\n\r\n/cc @natalieogle, @benogle\r\n\r\n### Versions\r\n\r\nYou can get this information from executing `atom --version` and `apm --version` at the command line.\r\n```\r\nAtom    : 1.7.0-dev-6beed1d\r\nElectron: 0.36.8\r\nChrome  : 47.0.2526.110\r\nNode    : 5.1.1\r\n```"},"comment":{"url":"https://api.github.com/repos/atom/atom/issues/comments/218788081","html_url":"https://github.com/atom/atom/issues/11035#issuecomment-218788081","issue_url":"https://api.github.com/repos/atom/atom/issues/11035","id":218788081,"user":{"login":"courthead","id":148083,"avatar_url":"https://avatars.githubusercontent.com/u/148083?v=3","gravatar_id":"","url":"https://api.github.com/users/courthead","html_url":"https://github.com/courthead","followers_url":"https://api.github.com/users/courthead/followers","following_url":"https://api.github.com/users/courthead/following{/other_user}","gists_url":"https://api.github.com/users/courthead/gists{/gist_id}","starred_url":"https://api.github.com/users/courthead/starred{/owner}{/repo}","subscriptions_url":"https://api.github.com/users/courthead/subscriptions","organizations_url":"https://api.github.com/users/courthead/orgs","repos_url":"https://api.github.com/users/courthead/repos","events_url":"https://api.github.com/users/courthead/events{/privacy}","received_events_url":"https://api.github.com/users/courthead/received_events","type":"User","site_admin":false},"created_at":"2016-05-12T15:11:29Z","updated_at":"2016-05-12T15:11:29Z","body":"Indeed, it seems to me the switch to MRU was done based on the opinions of a much smaller group of people than those who are against it.\r\n\r\nMost importantly, MRU by default seems buggy to those who've never used it (I've been developing for 20 years and have never seen Atom's style of MRU), whereas left-right is intuitive to all people, even MRU users. Exactly zero issues were posted here mistaking left-right tabbing for a bug when it was the default. It's far more common in applications that support tabbing, e.g. every browser ever, the terminal, most IDEs, etc. Seems obvious to me what the default should be..."}}
