Tab Master Extension

Tab Master is an easy-to-use browser extension for increasing your productivity by providing an easy and intuitive way to navigate through tabs and history.

**Note:** Use COMMAND/CTRL + SHIFT + K for pages that google has not designed extensions like Tab-Master to run (e.g. Chrome Web Store page and Chrome's new tab page). If you use CTRL + K or COMMAND + K on special pages it won't work!

**Note:** Chrome has some warning messages about the permissions required to run Tab-Master. In fact, Tab-Master's Javascript needs to be loaded on each page. please do not worry. Tab-Master never communicates with the server and does nothing to the data. Everyone is free to read the open source if interested.

What does Tab Master include?

1. User-friendly modal which can be opened with `CMD`|`CTRL` + K (depending on what OS you are using) and close by pressing ESCAPE.
2. Fuzzy search for filtering your opened tabs and history, finding the best result.
3. Fully customizable features by using the popup or configuration page, where you can:
- Turn off/on the extension itself
- Turn off/on the history/recent tabs search and only use Tab Master for tab switching
- Turn off/on the opened tabs that you can switch to and only use Tab Master for history search
- Customize the history search (from and to date), as well as maximum results, shown in the modal.
- Toggle between minimal and standard view for each tab/item
4. Expanding/Collapsing tabs so you can see the full info about the title and URL of the site

Windows/Linux:
- Toggle modal - CTRL + SHIFT + K
* Should be the preferred way for opening/closing modal:
*. If the content script is not loaded (e.g. your internet connection is slow,
you’re on pages that do not allow content script like a new page or chrome
page), with this command and a new temporary modal will be open in a
new tab replacing the not yet loaded modal in the main page
