Emil Begtrup-Bright (ID: 000000ee94741b24) Voted 5 ★ - Updated 10/12/2019 It's great, but could be perfect if: right now, if your mouse is accidentally at the area where the fuzzytab search suggestions activates, no matter what you type, it will stay on the tab from the search suggestons that your mouse happens to be hovering over. This is quite annoying - I'm using fuzzy tab in order *not* to use my mouse :) If you could find a solution for this, it would be perfect.Thank you for a great extension.
