Keeptabs

"Keep tabs on your tabs!" - Jemmin Chang
  • Navigate your tabs using hotkeys (quicker than you ever could with your mouse!)
  • Stop making tabs of websites that you already have open (you don't need 7 facebook tabs open!)
  • Stop searching through the haystack of tabs (especially when they're too thin to even show a logo!)

Do you need to...

Switch to your usual websites? Press the hotkeys that you set!

Normal Demo






Go back to your previous tab? Use Spacebar as your hotkey!

Switch Demo






Make a new tab of an open website? Add shift to your hotkey!

Duplicate Demo

  2. Restart Google Chrome
  3. Set up your hotkeys in the options page TODO: Insert gif

Use

TODO: Insert gif

  1. Make sure your browser is not focused on any text input
  2. Hold down the hold key (which is set to Escape by default)
  3. Type your hotkey (if you want to create a duplicate tab of a website you already have open, hope down shift while doing this step)
  4. Release the hold key

NOTE: If you are going to use the default hold key (which is Escape), we highly recommend setting your computer so that your Caps Lock key registers as the Escape key. This is especially good to do if you are a Vim or an Emacs user as those editors use Escape a lot and Caps Lock is easier to reach. TODO: Insert instructions on how to do this for various OS
