Summary: Kate does not reorganize tabs
Product: kate
Version: 20.08.0
Platform: Manjaro
OS: Linux
Status: REPORTED
Severity: normal
Priority: NOR
Component: general

Target Milestone: ---
SUMMARY
Kate does not seem to reorganize the tabs in how they are accessed from the
documents panel anymore.
Maybe I remember it wrong, but the previous behavior was that when you had many
documents in the documents panel open and you clicked on one of them, lets say
textFile5.txt, the tab for that document would "jump" to the start and be the
first tab, unless it was already visible as one of the "first" tabs and then it
would just become focused. If I would then click on another document for
example textFile35.txt then that tab would "jump" to the start of the tabs.
This was a very nice behavior as when having many documents open but need to
focus/work on 2-3 of them, you don't need to scroll up and down the document
list, once you have clicked them on the list, their tabs would then be side by
side and can then be accessed much faster if you need to switch between them
frequently than scrolling up and down the list to access them.
The behavior right now is that once you click on a document on the document
list the tab for that document remains were it is and you are "transferred" to
the tab, so the tab becomes focused without moving it, so now you jump from one
tab to the other without reorganizing the tabs so you can't quickly access the
last few clicked documents through the tabs.
I know that there is the quick open button which list the documents according
to the order they were accessed from the document list or if you clicked on
their tabs, but I think that the tabs should be reordered in the same fashion
as the quick open list, makes it even easier to get to the documents you have
recently accessed.
STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Open several documents
2. Click on the one document high on the document list panel
3. Click on the one document low on the document list panel
OBSERVED RESULT
The tab for the document remain at its current location and just being focus
on.
EXPECTED RESULT
The tab should move to the start of the tabs according to how they have been
accessed, this was the last few documents that have been accessed, their tabs
are close to each other and you can quickly access them through their tabs,
without needing to scroll in the documents list or scroll the tabs.
