Displaying filename more prominently while ctrl-tabbing

#1

Hi!

I find it slightly difficult to see which file is displayed after switching tabs via ctrl+tab. The only way to know which file/tab you end up on is to either recognize the file contents or look on the label of the currently selected tab. The former is unreliable at best and the latter does not really work for me for a number of reasons. Switching tabs in a rapid succession makes me even more confused.

Regardless, I would like to know if there is any way to get a tab switch popup like in Eclipse/IntelliJ. I find this popup to be a lot more user friendly to read and use. For those of you who have never used Eclipse or IntelliJ the popup is basically a table with one column and multiple rows, where each row corresponds to an open tab. The contents are ordered in a MRU fashion.

Bonus question: Could a plugin be used to open this kind of popup?
