Tab Hot Key Extension

Jump to frequently used websites using keyboard shortcuts.

Press Alt + J, and then a defined hot key to open a website.

If a website is already opened then Tab Hot Key activates the existing tab. Otherwise it open the website in a new tab.

Unlike other shortcut extensions, Tab Hot Key doesn't inject any scripts in your websites. Instead, our extension opens up a small independent popup just for the moment to capture your shortcut key.

It can work globally! You don't have to be in Chrome to use your shortcuts. Just change the base hot key scope from \"In Chrome\" to Global in chrome://extensions/shortcuts.

Unlike other shortcut extensions that work globally, this one doesn't require any additional software.
