bring back old tab cycle order

For control+tab key, the new Opera has adopted a tab cycle order from other browsers (Firefox, Chromium) which I argue was a bad move.

Old Opera behavior:

• ctrl+tab cycles tabs back to most recently viewed
• subsequent hits goes to tabs you viewed even earlier

New behavior:

• ctrl+tab cycles to the tab visually on the right of the current one

Rationale on why I like the old behavior:

• tabs that are closer to each other in time are closer to each other in number of key strokes
• allows you to quickly go back and forth between two most recent tabs which, at least to me, is a very common use case

Rationale on why I dislike the new behavior:

• hitting ctrl+tab generally jumps to some old tabs which I don't currently care of
• prevents my old workflow (subjective!)

Press Ctrl + F1 or set the activation order flag in opera://flags to use Ctrl + Tab.

Thanks a lot. I didn't know it was possible to enable this.
