How can I configure Intelli-J IDEA to show last visited tab after closing current tab (as in <code>Eclipse</code>)? Example: I opened <code>User.java</code> 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 <code>User.java</code> tab.

This has been fixed in recent versions of IntelliJ. However, it requires you to change a setting: <ol> <li> Preferences>>Editor>>General>>Editor Tabs </li> <li>Set When closing active editor: to Activate most recently opened Tab </li> </ol> <img src="https://i.stack.imgur.com/hOEv0.png" alt="enter image description here">
