Problem

How can I switch to the document to the left or right of the current document in Notepad++? For example, if I have documents , , and open, and I'm currently editing , I would like a shortcut to be able to: switch to document , like. . . (Alt-LeftArrow or Ctrl-Pageup) OR switch to document , like. . . (Alt-RightArrow or Ctrl-PageDown). All I've found is a way to switch to next or previous documents based on the "history" of when the document was last opened, for example: (Ctrl-Tab and Ctrl-Shift-Tab) The examples I have found are useful, but not what I want. Is what I am asking for possible?
