Breck Fairley (ID: 0000003712d69b64) Voted 5 ★ - Updated 06/10/2022 Thank you. Works exactly as described! Simple shortcuts to handle closing my chrome tabs. I've only just installed today but already saving me a lot of time closing down unnecessary tabs either to refresh or reset before closing chrome with restore tabs on startup enabled. One comment: on the Extension Options page, the link to chrome://extensions/shortcuts doesn't actually work and I needed to open a new tab manually and paste the URL to find out what the default command keys had been mapped to on my Win10 installation. Turned out to be SHIFT+ALT+Key
