Intellij IDEA 12. Return to last active tab

How can I configure Intelli-J IDEA to show last visited tab after closing current tab (as in Eclipse)?

Example: I opened User.java tab, then opened another tab and closed it. But after closing tab IDE shows me any random tab, but I want navigate back to the User.java tab.

This has been fixed in recent versions of IntelliJ. However, it requires you to change a setting:

  1. Preferences>>Editor>>General>>Editor Tabs
  2. Set When closing active editor: to Activate most recently opened Tab

This is not yet possible, but is planned for IntelliJ 13: http://youtrack.jetbrains.com/issue/IDEA-106160

You can vote for this issue to make it more "important" in the backlog.

Use CTRL + ALT + ← to the previous tab.
OR
CTRL + E to see recent files opened.
