Overview

Cycle back and forward through your last 10 active tabs.

Move through your recent tabs as naturally as going Back and Forward in your browser. BackTab remembers your last 10 active tabs and lets you instantly retrace your steps with simple, one-handed keyboard shortcuts. Instead of navigating through pages, BackTab navigates through tabs—making it easy to jump between documentation, code, research, messages, and everything else you are working on. Key features: • Move backward and forward through your 10 most recently active tabs • Fast, one-handed "Option + Q/W" or "Alt + Q/W" shortcuts • Independent tab history for every Chrome window and profile • Rewritten from the ground up for faster, more robust, and more reliable navigation • Requires only the “storage” permission • Completely free Keyboard shortcuts: macOS • Previous tab: Option + Q • Next tab: Option + W Windows, Linux, and ChromeOS • Previous tab: Alt + Q • Next tab: Alt + W You can customize any shortcut by opening: chrome://extensions/shortcuts BackTab is ideal for developers switching between code and documentation, researchers comparing sources, and anyone who regularly works across many open tabs.
