Quick Cast Extension

Quick Cast is a Chrome extension that allows you to quickly control your tabs, bookmarks and histories. Inspired by Raycast, a productivity tool for macOS, I tried to make a similar tool for Chrome.

After installing the extension, you can open the extension's popup by pressing:

- Ctrl+Shift+P on Windows
- Cmd+Shift+P on macOS

Then you can type commands to control your tabs, bookmarks and histories.
