Overview

Product summary

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

PowerSwitch is a tab switcher that lets you switch tabs instantly with your keyboard. Press command/control-k to open the list of tabs, type to filter the tabs, press enter to select one.

This solves two problems:

- you can pop over to a particular tab just by knowing its name. Lost your Gmail tab in ten windows with twelve tabs each? No problem: Just press command-k and type some of the name of the tab.

- you can easily bounce between two tabs, the way that you can alt-tab between apps: command-k, enter.

Version 2024.8.26 updates to manifest v3.

Version 2013.9.21 fixes bugs with full-screen windows and with not bringing a window to the front when switching tabs (apparently because of a change in Chrome's behavior) and removes the toolbar button. Now the keyboard shortcut is the only way to use PowerSwitch.

This extension is truly indispensable – trying to use a browser without it feels like a torture.

Love it, it's an essential help on ChromeOS. However, can we get a configurable "pattern matching" UI for, say, 10 presets? I am always bringing up the window and searching "mail" to find my GMail tab. I'd rather just switch straight to it using Ctrl+alt+n or something like that, and continually typing that combo would carousel through all gmail tabs.

By far the best tab switcher found on Chrome store.

Changing the keyboard shortcut is done via Chrome Settings : Extensions : Keyboard shortcuts menu.

Would be a 5 if you could customize the hotkey.

This is such a great idea for a Chrome extension. However, the extension offers no way to change the keyboard shortcut from Cmd+K to something else. Since I rely so heavily on Cmd+K to create hyperlinks when composing emails in Gmail, when editing Google Docs, and in other web applications, I ended up having to uninstall the extension :( But this extension is such a great idea that if there's ever support for changing the keyboard shortcut to something other than Cmd+K, I'll definitely resume using the extension.
