🔍 How It Works

🗂️ Setting the Tab Key
➤ Click the extension icon to set the Tab Key for the selected tab.

🖱️ Opening the Switch Tabs Popup
➤ Press Alt/Control+Q to open the Switch Tabs Popup with your saved shortcuts.

🛠️ Troubleshooting the hotkeys popup
If the popup is not shown:
1. Go to the Chrome Shortcuts settings page (chrome://extensions/shortcuts#:~:text=Switch%20Tabs%20Shortcut) and ensure that our app has an assigned key-binding (Alt/Control+Q by default, but if it is taken by another app, it needs to be configured manually).
2. Refresh the page to ensure the app script is loaded (this might occur after the first app installation).
3. Note that the popup can't be shown on system pages like chrome://, file:// and ChromeStore website which is a limitation of the Chrome browser. On these pages, the app will automatically open the previously opened page.

🎨 Customizations and Options
Need more customizations? Right-click on the extension icon to:
▸ 🔖 View and manage saved shortcuts on All Shortcuts page.
▸ ❓ Quickly access How-To guides.
▸ ⚙️ Go to App options.

🔧 Available Options:
- Day/Night Mode: Switch between light and dark themes.
- Back Key: Set a key to open the previously opened tab.
- Reload on Navigate: Choose if you want to automatically reload all tabs when opened (by default, this is enabled only when holding the hotkey for 1 second).
- Max Keys in Popup: Limit the number of keys shown in the quick hotkeys popup.
- Order By: Control the order of hotkeys in the popup (Most Used/Title/Key).

I can see how this Manifest v3 extension can become useful and versatile. However, the developers really need to integrate common Keyboard Shortcuts into its designated screen. This is essential for tasks that need quick actions, like flipping between recent tabs. Installing the extension should add common Keyboard Shortcut tasks into the Extensions > Keyboard Shortcuts settings. Currently, I'd need to hit Alt+Q to Activate this Extension. Then, I'd need to type the single letter, assigned to my preset tab-specific keyboard shortcut. These shortcuts are created •only• inside the Extension. It's powerful, in that sense, but not ideal for everyday power usage. Here are my recommendations for improvement: 1. Hybridize the keyboard shortcuts. Add the commonly used shortcuts into Chrome's Keyboard Shortcuts settings screen. Off the top of my head, these are the essentials: a) Flip between the two most Recent Tabs b) Switch to Previous Tab c) Switch to Next Tab 2. Retain current functionality for keyboard shortcuts inside the Extension. That is, Tabs' URL-specific keyboard shortcuts, outside of the Chrome's Keyboard Shortcuts options, still get setup inside Switch Tabs Shortcut's settings. Few, if any, Extensions utilize this hybrid approach, especially if we're only looking at Manifest v3 Extensions. Using CTRL+Tab to flip between Recent Tabs should be part of this Extension's core functionality. I presumed that this feature was a given, but it's not, so I'll edit my review after subsequent updates. For users with tons of tabs, I'd also recommend a Vertical Tabs Extension to put tabs in the side panel, saving screen real estate.
