INTRODUCTION

Quick Tabs is a tab management browser extension for the Google Chrome web browser based on the “Recent Files” quick selector built into the excellent IntelliJ IDEA by Jetbrains.

Quick Tabs allows you to move quickly between recently used tabs without requiring the use of your mouse, locate and switch to tabs as you need them with minimal keystrokes even when you have large numbers of open tabs.

Visit the Quick Tabs google extensions page to install this and try it out …

FEATURES

  • lists all the open tabs in Chrome across all of your open windows
  • tabs are listed in the order they were last viewed and excludes the current tab (since your switching tabs)
  • quickly search and select tabs by typing letters in the page title or url
  • displays the number of tabs you currently have open in all your Chrome windows
  • track recently closed tabs and allow them to be searched and restored
  • shortcut key to launch popup window from most tabs, defaults to Ctrl + m, configurable on the options page
  • keyboard navigation of tab list (up and down arrow keys, enter to select)
  • tab list shortcut keys:
    • to close selected tab (default ctrl+d)
    • to close ALL displayed tabs in the tab list, honors search filtering (default shift+ctrl+d)

FEEDBACK AND BUGS

CHROME API WISH LIST

  • shortcut keys for browser action extensions – this would allow the extension to work with only “tab” permissions and not require access to the users computer simply to run its contentScript :|
  • ability to set the focus to a window and not just a tab
