Tab Detach & Return

Detach tabs into separate windows and return them to their original window and position. Tracks mouse drags too.

Detach a browser tab into its own window and send it back when you’re done. • Alt+Shift+D detaches the current tab. • Alt+Shift+R returns it to its original window and tab position. Tabs dragged between windows with the mouse are tracked too. Detach several tabs from different windows and return them independently, in any order. SHORTCUT SETUP If a shortcut is already assigned to another extension, browser action, or operating-system action, it may not work automatically. Open chrome://extensions/shortcuts (or brave://extensions/shortcuts in Brave) and assign your preferred keys under Tab Detach & Return. Remove any conflicting assignment first. If your operating system captures the shortcut, change that binding in your system’s keyboard settings. THINGS TO KNOW The original window must remain open. Destinations are remembered for the current browser session and cleared when the browser restarts or the extension reloads. Tracking starts when the extension is loaded; previously detached tabs cannot be returned automatically. Tabs return to their saved tab index. Rearranging the original window’s tabs while a tab is away may change which tabs it returns beside. PRIVACY No accounts, analytics, or external services. Tab tracking stays in your browser.
