TabsPlus Extension

Features:
- choose, where will be the focus after closing a tab;
- choose default behaviour for a new tab;
- you can \"pin\" current tab, so it will not be used for \"last selected\" behaviour;

Notes:
- unfortunately, for today there is no full support for global keyboard shortcuts;
- I'm not sure, it's possible to open every new tab in background;
- still thinking about those two annoying problems; ;-)

neracn (ID: 000000da93cc6f6c) Voted 4 ★ - Updated 09/02/2021 I like the plugin except one case following. I set the new tab in next right and foreground. When I clicked the plus button, the new tab was created at the right side of current tab, it's OK. But the tabs list on the top was scrolled to the last tab. I don't know how to focus on the new tab.
