Tab Rearranging Extension

This extension allows you to rearrange your tabs using keyboard shortcuts. Pressing \"ctrl+shift+pageup\" moves the current tab one space to the left and \"ctrl+shift+pagedown\" moves it one to the right.

If the current tab gets to either end of the tab row it will wrap back around to the other side. Pinned tabs are ignored in this, so they cannot be moved with those shortcuts and other tabs will not move into their spots.

If you notice any issues with this or have ideas for improvements let me know here:
