Overview

Product summary

Review the store description, core capabilities, and common use cases.

'Ctrl+Tab MRU' allows switching through tabs in the order they were visited before. By default this happens by pressing Ctrl+Y for going back in time and Ctrl+Shift+Y for the other way round.

*** IMPORTANT TO KNOW ***

Unfortunately Chrome doesn't drectly allow users to set Ctr+Tab as shortcut keys. So I suggest using the following trick to circumvent this: https://superuser.com/a/1326712.

*** *** ***

Tab switching also works on special pages (like chrome://), Chrome Web Store URLs, PDFs, XMLs or when the address bar is focused. In this case a temporary tab is opened to show the menu.

To directly jump to a tab listed on the switcher menu, click on its title or icon.

Ctrl + Tab is no longer bindable, i.e this extension no longer work. It should be removed from Chrome Extension library to help people from installing it and wondering how to customize Ctrl + Tab

works a charm, only wish I could assign shortcut to CTRL + `, so that it is closer to the CTRL + Tab that you get in Firefox.

works great on Windows but on Mac when I release the key-combo (I have Alt-q) the tab menu remains open. I have to use the mouse to click the selected tab. Bummer!

I can't get it to work correctly on Chromebook. As stated I can't set CRTL-Tab, but that's ok. I have tried CTRL-Q and it works for the last tab, but if I want to go back in history it opens a new tab with soft of a drop-down list of recent tabs that I can't even click on. I'll keep searching...

I'm switching back to FFox because of this extension not working. This Ctrl+tab thing predates you, google. You're not the boss of us.
