A fast, minimal tab switcher for Chrome. Press Alt+Q and every open tab appears in one centered list — numbered like the tab strip, grouped by window, searchable as you type.
| Key | Action |
|---|---|
| Alt+Q | Open the list. The current tab is highlighted |
| Alt+Q again (keep Alt held) | Move down; release Alt to switch |
| Type | Filter by title and address |
| ↑ ↓, Tab | Move |
| Enter | Switch to the tab (focuses its window) |
| Delete / Ctrl+Backspace | Close the highlighted tab |
| Esc | Close the list |
| Alt+W | Jump to the previous tab and back |
- Current window first, other windows below under «Window 2 · ».
- Light and dark look follow Chrome's appearance setting, live.
- Size never jumps: fixed when opened, unaffected by page zoom.
- On Chrome's own pages (New Tab,
chrome://…) extensions can't draw inside the page, so the same list opens as a small window over Chrome. - Shortcuts can be changed at
chrome://extensions/shortcuts.

Быстрый минималистичный переключатель вкладок Chrome. Alt+Q — все вкладки одним списком по центру: с номерами, как в полоске вкладок, по окнам, с поиском. Держишь Alt и жмёшь Q — подсветка ниже, отпустил Alt — переход. Alt+W — на прошлую вкладку и обратно. Светлая и тёмная тема — как у Chrome.
