How I am switching tabs that fast?

I'm using the commands gT and gt to go back and forth opened tabs respectively.
And using :prev and :next to navigate files opened on startup.
See opened files using :args
Quick find using :find file_name or :b file_name_substring
I'm using :Goyo to display the text nicely (plugin)
