🆕 New options in QuicKey 2.0
Now you can press a single shortcut key (ALT-Q by default) to navigate recent tabs in a popup window, just like the ALT-TAB menu! Keep holding ALT while pressing Q to move the selection, then release ALT to switch to the selected tab.
*️⃣ Switch between the most recently used tabs
⚠️ NOTE: If you've been using QuicKey before 2.0, you'll need to set keyboard shortcuts for
the new commands that show the popup window, as they won't be set by default.

In Chromebook, Firefox and other chromium browsers with MRU do not play really well with the system and power efficiency, that Chrome becomes the only choice, this extension is a Life Saver! Shame on Chromium/Chrome team refused to implement MRU as an option. Even though it is not close to what is in Firefox/Vivaldi, at least we get the basic of 'ctrl-tab' MRU capability with this extension . Thank you so much for creating this! One not so ideal behavior is in chromeOS the terminal app is also considered as a chrome tab, so ctrl-tab would go to terminal sometimes, but i guess it is fine.
Been using this for years now. So awesome to be able to assign a key combo on my keyboard to switch back and forth between recent tabs. It's a must have for me!
Great extension! I have been using it daily for a very long time. I usually open more than 100 tabs in my edge and this is really a time saver! Is it possible to introduce group support as well? For example: search for a group, automatically move tabs to a group etc. Thank you!
After using QuicKey a few months I couldn't figure out why my operating system keyboard shortcuts like command-A for select-all text didn't work in the browser and realized this extension alters these keyboard shortcuts. I don't like that at all, especially as a default setting. Given the Chrome variants now include tab management I no longer need this type of extension. However it worked well in various other ways and given it is open source could have adjusted it given time.
Jan 21, 2025 update ─ still using this extension, frequently, about 3.5 years after originally posting this review: I use only two shortcuts 1) CTRL + Tab to flip between most recent two tabs 2) ALT+Q to pull up Quickey tab search box. To Developer(s): As-is, the Next Tab and Previous Tab hotkeys have a Settings toggle to show the QuicKey search box, when executing either of these hotkeys. Could you please include a Settings toggle to have the QuicKey search box appear, when zipping between two most recent tabs. The specific QuicKey option is, "Switch instantly between the two most recent tabs?" That'd be really helpful. Thanks for your ongoing development 🙏
Finally! I found the extension that is capable of enabling ctrl+tab to jump over the recent tabs. The great feature is that it's possible to jump not only to the previous tab but through the whole history. Thanks!
Best and truly working than other tab switching extensions....
An absolutely amazing extension. Although Chrome addeed support for finding Tabs, this extension has much more powerful features like browsing of Bookmarks, History and Tabs from other windows. Despite that it is highly customizable. I love this extension and will never miss it.
Great, I was using another extension for doing that. Then it requested more permission to read all sites data. I found this great extension with more features. Thanks a lot for the creator of this extension.
Ctrl+Tab finally works! Thank you so much!
