Hello Andreas,

thanks for your suggestions and sorry that I saw your answer so late.

While I'm aware of other methods to navigate between files it's unfortunately 
not the same than the disappeared shortcuts. :-(
For now I arranged myself with "Next/Previous Window" and reordering the tabs 
by using the middle mouse button.

Are you sure the changes proposed on 
http://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=147134 solve this problem?
It's not about the first or the last tab of a tab widget but about a stack of 
most recently used documents. Always when releasing the Alt key after using 
Alt+Up or Alt+Down the current window is put on top of the stack.

With "First/Last Accessed Window" you can very easily toggle between two files 
by always pressing the same shortcut (Alt+Up) because the most recently used 
documents are always on top of the internal stack. No need to look where the 
files reside in the tabs nor if one file is before or after the other when 
cycling through the documents. That's very handy for example when editing a 
header file and it's corresponding implementation or when comparing something 
in two files.

If it had been possible I had assigned the disappeared functionality to the 
shortcuts Ctrl+Tab and Ctrl+Shift+Tab since this is the shortcut which is
quite standard on "other systems" ;-) for toggling between multiple documents 
in a multiple-document-interface (MDI). This would be very consistent with 
toggling between different applications by Alt+Tab and Alt+Shift+Tab.

Unfortunately the keys Ctrl+Tab and Ctrl+Shift+Tab seem to be hardwired to the 
same functionality as Alt+Right respectively Alt+Left. I found no way to 
disable the default action and use it with "First/Last Accessed Window" in 
the past. If you have a hint for that I will try it as soon as a new KDevelop 
version with a fix for "First/Last Accessed Window" appears in the Debian 
unstable repository.

By the way: Although I was very puzzled when I discovered that my most used 
keyboard shortcut didn't work anymore the important severity was a bit harsh 
in retrospect, sorry for that.

Thank you very much again and keep up the good work.

Best regards
Stefan
