Last Tab

Switch to previously used tab with Ctrl+Q (MRU tab switching like in IDE)

🚀 Switch tabs like a pro — just like in your favorite IDE! Tired of Chrome's default Ctrl+Tab that cycles through tabs in order? Last Tab brings IDE-style tab switching to your browser. Jump instantly to the tab you were just viewing, or navigate through your recent tab history. ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ ⌨️ KEYBOARD SHORTCUTS ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ • Ctrl+Q — Quick switch to previous tab Hold Ctrl and press Q multiple times to go further back in history. A popup shows your recent tabs while you navigate. Release Ctrl to switch to the selected tab. • Ctrl+Shift+Q — Open Recent Tabs popup Browse all your tabs with search/filter. Use arrow keys to navigate, Enter to select. macOS: Use Control instead of Ctrl (Command+Q quits apps) ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ ✨ KEY FEATURES ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ 📌 MRU (Most Recently Used) Navigation Switch tabs based on when you last used them, not their position. Perfect for comparing two pages — press Ctrl+Q twice to ping-pong between them. 🔍 Search & Filter Quickly find any open tab by typing in the Recent Tabs popup. Searches both tab titles and URLs. 🪟 Cross-Window Support Navigate between tabs across all Chrome windows seamlessly. ⚡ Auto-Switch on Close When you close a tab, automatically jump to the previous one (optional, can be disabled). 🎨 Dark Mode Support Clean, minimal interface that adapts to your system theme. ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ ⚙️ SETTINGS ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ Click the extension icon to access settings: • Enable/disable Quick Switch (Ctrl+Q) • Enable/disable MRU Popup (Ctrl+Shift+Q) • Enable/disable Auto-switch on tab close Customize shortcuts at: chrome://extensions/shortcuts ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ 🔒 PRIVACY ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ • No data collection — everything stays local • No analytics or tracking • No external connections • Open source: github.com/kar43lov/ChromeLastTabExt ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ 💡 USE CASES ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ • Developers comparing code and documentation • Researchers switching between sources • Anyone who misses IDE-style tab navigation • Power users who want faster tab management ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ Made with for productivity enthusiasts Questions or feedback?
