When closing a tab, make the next tab to the right the 'current' one.

My only frustration with Sumatra PDF is when trying to review a large number of open tabs. I will try to start somewhere in the list and inspect, and generally close each one until I have reduced the number of open tabs to just what I still need. However, unlike browser tabs, each time I close a tab the 'focus' jumps all over the place, so after each close I have to laboriously go back and select the next tab in line. When many tabs are open this isn't so easy, because I have to make sure when I select the tab I want next, I don't accidentally click the X and close the tab before I have had a chance to see what it is and make a decision.

I'd like a feature to disable the complex behavior (all the time) and have focus just simply migrate to the next tab in line. The tricky behavior ('last seen', or 'last modified') never ends up being what I want.

An "advanced" option to disable this complex behavior would be soooooo helpful.

I did try to find such an option currently or see if someone else has raised this issue but I didn't see anything.
