No joy. In my current version of VS2005, the macros just do the usual jumping-around-the-tabs-randomly thing. Same as the builtin next/previous. Perhaps some recent MS update broke it?

I couldn’t disagree more. MRU is awesome. We all work in different ways, I’m usually working with 2-3 files at any given time and being able to get back and forth between them easily and without having to constantly scan the open files bar is priceless. Long live MRU!!!

[...] this and this blogger going by the name of Mr Speaker has the necessary macro code. Navigate to his blog post and make use of his macro. After you apply his macro to your VS you can bind your favorite keyboard [...]

David: in VS2010 you can use the “window.nextTab” and “window.previousTab” functions (Tools -> Options… , Environment -> Keyboard).

Works fine for me in Visual Studio 2010 binding the macro to the Global Ctrl+Tab and Ctrl+Shift+Tab keys. I did end up hiding the bubble by setting Visual Studio 2010 to “Hide icon and notifications” from the system tray in Windows 7, but otherwise it does exactly what I wanted.

Also I posted a bug on Connect regarding non-MRU lookup, and they said that they will try and add it to the next release of Visual Studio. More info here: http://goo.gl/K9rz

I would give you sixty trillion mightybucks if you can get this working reliably in Visual Studio 2010. Arrrggghhh! Visual Studio 2010 is such an awesome IDE but it’s Ctrl+Tab behaviour makes me weep like a little bitch.
