Thinking from a KDevelop user's point of view:
1.) Yes, I also like very much your feature of cycling through the views in
"last-viewed" order by holding the Ctrl key and pressing another key several
times. This is similar to Ctrl+F6 in MS Visual C++ 6.0 which is one of the
most often used key combinations when coding there. Jörg, is Ctrl+F6 still a
free accel in KDevelop-3?
2.) But additionally,  I'd also like to have a constant view accelerator for
a view. For instance, if it's Alt+3 (or whatever key), it shouldn't change
to Alt+1. So in a session, you can always be sure Alt+8 is foo.cpp.

Does your patch match both thoughts? Sorry, currently, I don't have enough
time to try your patch...

Cheers
