Enabling MRU tabbing in Notepad++ but without the "document switcher" popup?

I like the MRU (Most Recently Used) tabbing order of Notepad++, but really dislike the "document switcher" that pops up when you use Ctrl-Tab.

When I disable the document switcher option in Settings -> Misc, it also disables the MRU behaviour, for some unknown reason. Is there some manual tweak / trick to keep MRU without the doc switcher popup?

No, there is no tweak at the moment. If you are a programmer, you can inspect N++ source code to confirm.

I know this is an old question, but since it keeps popping up on Google search results I thought I'd answer it.

Yes, in the latest NP++ versions you CAN disable the Alt-Tab switch window and just have the MRU switch behavior you expect.

Just go to:

Settings > Preferences > MISC. > Document Switcher: uncheck Enable

Alt+Tab will continue working, but the popup will not appear.
