Hot Tab Extension

Updates:

You can now see all registered shortcuts by clicking the toolbar icon.
You can now change the keyboard shortcuts by clicking on the app icon and clicking \"Mange Shortcuts\"

I got sick and tired of not being able to move my tabs left or right by use of hot keys (which, to me, seems like a feature that should be natively available in Chrome). Anyway, I've added hotkey support through this extension. Hot keys are registered by default as such:

Move Left: Cmd/Ctrl+Shift+Left
Move Right: Cmd/Ctrl+Shift+Right
Pin/Unpin Tab: Cmd/Ctrl+Shift+Down
Close other tabs: Cmd/Ctrl+Shift+K


Please leave feedback if you have any problems/ideas.
