codeTabber Extension

codeTabber is a Chrome extension that brings panel-switching keyboard shortcuts to multiple online code editors. codeTabber allows you to switch focus between the various code panels using just the keyboard. The angle brackets, < and >, are used as facsimile arrow keys.

Usage:
To move focus to the next pane, press CTRL and the greater-than key (>). To switch focus to the previous pane, press CTRL and the less-than key (<). If no pane has focus when a keyboard shortcut is used, focus will be given to the first pane. (Mac users: use CTRL rather than CMD.)

Supported sites:
- CodePen
- CSSDeck
- CSSDesk
- dabblet
- JSBin
- JSFiddle
- kodtest
- Liveweave
