🔍 How It Works
Change Tab Shortcut utilizes advanced tab management techniques to provide a seamless tab-switching experience. Here's a simple breakdown:
• Install the extension.
• Set up your preferred tab-switching shortcut.
• Use the hotkey to switch tabs effortlessly.
• Enjoy increased productivity and smoother browsing!

🗂️ Setting the Tab Key
➤ Click the extension icon to set the Tab Key for the selected tab.

🖱️ Opening the Switch Tabs Popup
➤ Press Alt/Control+Q to open the Switch Tabs Popup with your saved shortcuts.

🛠️ Troubleshooting the hotkeys popup
If the popup is not shown:
1. Go to the Chrome Shortcuts settings page (chrome://extensions/shortcuts#:~:text=Switch%20Tabs%20Shortcut) and ensure that our app has an assigned key-binding (Alt/Control+Q by default, but if it is taken by another app, it needs to be configured manually).
2. Refresh the page to ensure the app script is loaded (this might occur after the first app installation).
3. Note that the popup can't be shown on system pages like chrome://, file:// and ChromeStore website which is a limitation of the Chrome browser. On these pages, the app will automatically open the previously opened page.

🎨 Customizations and Options
Need more customizations? Right-click on the extension icon to:
▸ 🔖 View and manage saved shortcuts on All Shortcuts page.
▸ ❓ Quickly access How-To guides.
▸ ⚙️ Go to App options.

🔧 Available Options:
- Day/Night Mode: Switch between light and dark themes.
- Back Key: Set a key to open the previously opened tab.
- Reload on Navigate: Choose if you want to automatically reload all tabs when opened (by default, this is enabled only when holding the hotkey for 1 second).
- Max Keys in Popup: Limit the number of keys shown in the quick hotkeys popup.
- Order By: Control the order of hotkeys in the popup (Most Used/Title/Key).
