Scroll active tab into view in vertical tabs

Hi! Thanks for your awesome extension, I use it all the time.
I use vertical tabs in Edge and my tab list is usually longer than the screen height, meaning I have to scroll up and down it. Can you add a feature to automatically scroll to the tab that has just been rearranged, if it is now out of view?
Thank you!

Allow tabs to "wrap around" like they used to, instead of separate shortcut

Hi there, I remember some years ago when I first installed your extension, it used to be possible for tabs to "wrap around" back to the beginning or end if you move the past the last / first position. For example, if you had 10 tabs open, and you open a new tab in position 11, pressing the keyboard shortcut for "move right", it would wrap around and move it into position 1. This is the default behaviour for a lot of tabbed applications such as iTerm.

I see that there is a separate shortcut for "move to beginning / end", but I find this extremely unintuitive, and it's hard to remember which keyboard shortcut, Ctrl + Cmd + Left / Up / Down, that I should use whenever I need this functionality.

I am in need of the "wrap around" behaviour almost daily, as I often open new tabs (which open on the right) and want to bring them "all the way to the left" into positions 1, 2, or 3, and so I hereby request that you bring back this "wrap around" behaviour, please! 🙏

Shift+Alt+home and Shift+Alt+end, and "make the turn" with Shift+Alt+right

Hello, these shortcuts Shift+Alt+home and Shift+Alt+end are not working anymore, it is very annoying. So much that when you have a lot more tabs than Chrome is able to display, the tab is hidden at the far rightside, and we cannot see it move. So, it is a long way to bring the tab to the left, one by one, and when the tab hits a collapsed group, it makes the group open. In the past, I remember we could also bring the last tab at the first position with Shift+Alt+right, and now it is no more possible, it was clever to make the turn backwards.
Please, could you bring back all these functions ?

Feature "support for rearranging groups of tabs" request

Hello Mohnish, please add support for rearranging groups of tabs to the new version of the extension. In the current version, groups of tabs are getting ungrouped when rearranging, which should not be happening.

Behavior changes when address bar in focus

I'm on a Mac and I have set my shortcuts as Left+Shift+Control and Right+Shift+Control for "Move selected tab(s) left" and "right", respectively. When I am not focused on the browser's address bar, the extension works as expected. However, when I am focused, Left+Shift+Option and Right+Shift+Option also cause tabs to get moved. This is in addition to the shortcuts I have set. When I remove the shortcuts, neither combination works. This is problematic because on a Mac Left/Right+Shift+Option is used to highlight text word by word.

Ok, I see. Thank you for your timely replies Mohnish!

Peter: The shortcuts that we choose are fine as long as they don't conflict with the ones Chrome natively uses. The default shortcut combo that uses CMD + Ctrl + left/right don't conflict with any of the existing Chrome shortcuts and so they're safe to use.

Yes, that's the expected behavior. That's why 3.0.0 changes the default shortcut combination to use the CMD and avoid this conflict.

This does not occur if I use Command instead of Control.

Bring an option to allow the tab to cycle like the old version please :(

The reason why I installed this extension is because I have *a lot* of tab and there were no way to interact with the tabs that are out of range. I loved that you can cycle the tabs back to the ~100 tabs where I can see and interact with them. I not gonna lie it's kind of a deal breaker now that i have to click extra button instead of just spamming right. BUT it is nice that I don't have to spam a tab that's somewhere in the middle. So please maybe have an option that you can enable or disable the cycle?
This is an amazing extension though.

No longer works on Chromebook with latest update

Hello. Thank you for your awesome extension! I rely on it frequently. I notice it is not working on my Chromebook anymore. I thought I'd give a heads-up. Shift + Alt + left (for example) doesn't work.

Thank you for your help and enjoy a super day! 🌞

Hello, Mohnish.

I saw your post here: https://iam.mt/rearrange-tabs-3-0-0/

I must say I miss the wrap-around feature using just two hotkeys: to the left and to the right.

On my Chromebook, I am not able to set the back and front functions to match the left and right functions. This causes a bit of a mental leap to use the back and front functions, as they are used much less often.

Might there be any chance that users could select the option to use the old wrap-around function via a new setting?

Here are my settings:
Back: Alt + Page Down
Front: Alt + Page Up
Left: Alt + Shift + Left Arrow
Right: Alt + Shift + Right Arrow

Thank you, Mohnish, for your extension, work and help!

Enjoy a super day! 🌞

Hi Brian, you should be able to get it to work by setting your shortcuts in settings.

Customize your keyboard shortcut by following these steps:

1. Go to `chrome://extensions/shortcuts`
2. Scroll down to locate `Rearrange Tabs`.
3. Click in the greyed out fields for `Not set`.
4. Press the desired key combination to create a new shortcut.

Hope that helps :)

change in behavior of left/right navigation

Hi,
Thanks for the extension. I have been using it for a long time and I love it.

However, with the new 3.0.0 update you changed the behavior of left/right navigation:
Now when I get to the end of one side of the tab-strip and keep moving the tab no longer cycles to the other hand.
For me that was an awesome fluid feature.
I can see people also liking the new mode though.
How about having it as an option in a settings page?

Hi Eyal, the change was intentional. I introduced that feature early on (v1) when the option to move to front/back (v2) wasn't implemented. When I worked on the 3.0 rewrite, I carefully weighed in on which aspects of the extension seemed redundant, buggy, or causing perf issues, and this one fit the redundant category. I tried to clean up the extension and make it lean. I hope you're able to use the move back/front instead.

I do like the idea of having an option to control whether the tabs cycle around. I will consider this for a future update. Thanks for being a user and I hope this is not a deal breaker for you and you still enjoy using the extension :)
