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.

Nice! Works great with CTRL key combos. Does not work with ALT key combos.

It works exactly as it's described. I am quite satisfied with the extension, although I would really like to see possibility to navigate through tabs in that list with arrow keys.

The product only worked one time. After that anytime I tried using Ctrl+Tab it just walked the tabs from left to right. The product should also work when closing tabs it should take you to the MRU tab.

Works nicely with shortcuts other than CTRL+TAB. Would have given 5 stars if it worked with CTRL+TAB as the developer claims, but I can't set the keyboard shortcut to CTRL+TAB...

It works, thanks! Stupid chrome hasn't such a useful feature out of the box( As for the temp window - as far as i understood it's used only for the native chrome tabs (settings, etc) to work. So for the normal tabs it's not bother at all!

Does not cycle between 'most recently used' (i.e. MRU) tabs. needs two different short cuts (one goes forward the other backward). Does not follow the pattern advertised by it's name.

when I click ctrl+tab too fast it doesn't work because it stays on that temporal windows you create to display the order. don't you can avoid that window?
