Duplicate Tab Extension

Duplicate Tab is a simple extension providing a keyboard shortcut to users to enable to duplicate the current tab. Chrome (and other browsers) have a built-in tab duplicate action but this is often not assignable to a keyboard shortcut, requiring several clicks.

The default Duplicate Tab keyboard shortcut in this extension is CTRL+SHIFT+Z although this can be changed by going to \"chrome://extensions/shortcuts\". You can also click on the extension icon to duplicate your current tab (make sure to pin the extension!).

This extension is extremely lightweight, requires no additional permissions to be granted, and collects no data.
