Keyboard Shortcuts to Reorder Tabs Extension

The extension consists of four keyboard shortcuts (VIM style):

* Alt-Shift-L: Move Tab Right
* Alt-Shift-H: Move Tab Left
* Alt-Shift-K: Move Tab to Start Position
* Alt-Shift-J: Move Tab to End Position

A separate extension, tabasco, adds the following shortcuts to Chrome

* Close Other Tabs
* Close Tabs to the Right
* Pin Tab

Chrome extensions currently only allow for a maximum of four shortcuts, which is why they are not included in tabloid.

Jeff Pasch (ID: 0000005118bc1367) Voted 5 ★ - Updated 11/11/2018 I love this extension. One thing I'd suggest is changing the default keyboard shortcuts. I change them manually to the < and > keys (which are the , and . key respectively). That makes it super obvious what left and right are. Blammo. Thanks for creating this extension! Keyboard shortcut lovers rejoice!
