Move Tab to Next Window Extension

Especially useful for these amazing multi-monitor setups when it's too annoying to drag tabs around between windows.

## Quick feature list
- the source tab position is saved in all windows, so if it's moved back into a window, it moves into its original position
- if the tab is in a tab group, when moving it the identical group will be created or used in another window. When moving back to original window the tab will return into its original group
- multiple tabs move - select multiple tabs (use shift or cmd/ctrl) and move all of them into the next window in the same order
- if there is only 1 window, a new window will be opened on move
- keyboard shortcut support

Open sourced on Github for transparency.

Pavel Vlasov (ID: 000000a513edaa01) Voted 5 ★ - Updated 08/11/2023 Exactly what I wanted, thanks! I wish the toolbar icon be more readable. Note also that kb shortcuts for extensions cannot be found in normal Chrome settings, they are very well hidden in the chrome page "/extensions".

icon

Jon Chen (ID: 0000002f6a322ad5) Voted 5 ★ - Updated 12/05/2022 Just what I needed! I can't figure out what the hotkey is to move the tab. is there an assigned hotkey to activate this extension or do I always need to click the browser extension on the top right?
