Open Tabs Next to Current Extension

Open Tabs Next To Current
=========================

Open tabs that would normally be opened last next to the current one. Tabs that are being re-opened are thus not included. You can use `Ctrl-Y` (`Ctrl-Shift-Y` on Windows) to open a new tab at the default location.

Note for Chrome
---------------

Keyboard shortcuts are not automatically set up. You need to do that manually on the extension page in settings.

Note for Firefox
----------------

Tabs that are opened by clicking on links are opened at the default location. You can change the setting `browser.tabs.insertRelatedAfterCurrent` in `about:config` if you want even those to be opened right next to the current.

Known Issues
------------

Caused by limitations of the webextension API, see
https://github.com/sblask/webextension-open-tabs-next-to-current/issues/26
and
https://github.com/sblask/webextension-open-tabs-next-to-current/issues/29:

- tabs are visibly moved to their final position
- the tab bar is scrolled so the opened tab becomes the first visible one on
the left (Firefox only)
- when opening multiple tabs at once, only one of them is opened at the right
position

Hayden Strzina (ID: 0000000e447da3c9) Voted 5 ★ - Updated 08/15/2023 It's a very simple but effective extension that we shouldn't need - it doesn't make sense to open a new tab at the end of all other tabs. Chrome, please just add this feature already
