This one is really simple, however I need 2 different key combos to go
to file1.cpp. So I don't like that that much.

Too complicated and probably going to be a usability nightmare due to
the focus switching. There are no focus indicators at the moment, except
the blinking cursor which is hard to see already for people with 100%
sight.

This is what kate does and IMHO is a good compromise between simplicity
and not having to hit multiple combo's in the right order to get where
one wants.

So, my vote is for v.3.
