Rotate through your recent tabs with a keyboard shortcut just like Alt Tab or Command Tab on your computer.
AltCue - Tab Switcher Extension
We all tend to bounce between just a handful of active tabs, even if we have dozens open in the background. AltCue zeroes in on that reality by presenting your 5 most recent tabs in a convenient popup. Quickly jump to your most relevant tabs and let the rest stay out of sight (and out of mind).
Who Is AltCue For?
- Tab Hoarders who keep dozens (or hundreds!) of tabs open yet only touch a few of them.
- Multitaskers juggling work, research, and entertainment tabs at once.
- Keyboard Ninjas who prefer quick shortcuts to clicking around.
- Anyone looking to corral their tabs without the hassle of shutting them down or stashing them away in hidden lists.
Why AltCue?
- Focus on your working set: We know you probably only juggle a few tabs at a time. AltCue keeps those at your fingertips.
- Stay in your flow: Instantly switch between tabs without leaving the keyboard—no need to hunt through an endless row of tiny tab icons.
Features
- Quick Keyboard Cycling: Press Alt + Q, then press Q repeatedly to rotate through your 5 most recent tabs.
- Close Tabs: When a tab is highlighted, press Backspace to close it.
- Audio Indicator: See which tabs are playing audio before you switch.
- Custom Keyboard Shortcuts: Tailor AltCue to your workflow by mapping any keyboard shortcut to the popup.
- Pointer mode: Prefer the mouse? Click the extension icon to open the popup and use your pointer to switch tabs.
Pro
For power users who switch tabs like it’s an Olympic sport:
- Tab previews: See a quick screenshot before switching—a lifesaver for visual thinkers.
- Dynamic Filtering: Filter by pinned tabs or by tab groups to keep your workspace organized using the Left and Right arrow keys.
- Adjustable Tab List: Reveal more or fewer recent tabs using the Up and Down arrow keys.
- All Windows, One View: Show your recent tabs across all open browser windows in a single list.
- Themes Galore: Give AltCue a look you love with multiple themes inspired by popular browsers and operating systems.
