Hi, I want to switch tab by most recent used order, so I can use Ctrl + Tab to switch between 2 tabs. How can I set this?
Thanks

I don't believe that is possible. Ctrl + TAB && Shift+CTRL + TAB cycle thru visible order.
It's possible a script or external program could be made to do something like that by tracking a stack of tabs -- that would be complicated by how to determine whether the path has changed due to changing directories within the current tab or actually changing to another tab; as well duplicate tabs with the same path/title would need to be accounted for.
To do this cleanly TC would need to expose the TAB interface to plugins (which I don't believe it does) or support internal tracking of a LIFO tab stack (Last-In-First-Out).

*BLINK* TC9 Added WM_COPYDATA and WM_USER queries for scripting.
Re: How to swtch tab in recent used order
Don't know if I should be reviving a necro-thread, but 11 years later I am wondering about the same thing. 
I'd also like to switch tabs much like web browsers do (at least Firefox), so for example after closing a tab, switch to the last active, or Ctrl+Tab+Tab to switch to the next last active, etc.
