For each tab (of all tabs of a unique source code), the order of which 
one was last focused/active is remembered.

For breakpoint, bookmarks, history jumps, 
Find-in-file-result-list/msg-window clicks the last active one is used 
(maybe later options will be add, so you could stick with the current 
window...)

e.g for msg-window, or find in fles result => you focus the desired tab, 
and then choose the result.


Onlty exception "goto prev/next bookmark" looks for the tab that is 
closest located according to the search order (forward/back). (excluding 
the current source other tabs)
{ } indocate a window (win1 and win2)

{ unit1  unit2  unit3 }  {unit2  unit1}

each unit has a bookmark,

W1U1 is active / the order forward will be :
   w1-u1
   w1-u2
   w1-u3
   w2-u2 (it's the next tab with a bookmark)
   w2-u1
   w1-u2 (w1 u1 would have been next, but it will not go ti itself)
