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.

Very useful! Must be integrated to chrome as default!

This is not working when the shortcut doesn't involve the ctrl key. (For example when using alt-x)

Finally THE extension which does the job! Works like a charm - Great! Keep it up! I use Ctrl+Q, works fine for me. BTW: Mapping Ctrl+Tab isn't allowed by chrome anymore. No reason for a bad rating here :D

Thanks to the publisher, but can't set keyboard shortcut to ctrl+tab. I can't believe how blinkered and anti-user Google are being over this issue. It's like MRU switching wasn't a GUI default since Xerox invented them in the 70s.

I cant input ctrl+tab in the keyboard shortcuts page. It just ignores it or if other tabs are open ignores it and jumpes to the next tab.

ctrl+tab as a keybind isn't an option anymore, even on Windows. But, this still works better than the other plugins I've tried. Wth is wrong with chrome? Why isn't this the default behavior of ctrl+tab anyway.
