Reorder shortcuts using ctrl-shift pgup/pgdn on Windows/Mac just like you can already do in Linux.

Description from store

What's New?

Works on Chrome OS only now that other OS support this natively.

About

Chrome on most operating systems lets you re-order your tabs using the keyboard shortcuts ctrl-shift-pgup and ctrl-shift-pgdn. However, if you use ChromeOS these shortcuts are not available to you. This tiny, unobtrusive extension fixes that.

Shortcuts

Move active tab left - ctrl-shift-pgup
Move active tab right - ctrl-shift-pgdn
Move active tab to first position - ctrl-shift-1
Move active tab to last position - ctrl-shift-9
Move active tab to nth position - ctrl-shift-<2..8>

F.A.Q.

Q: It's not working on this page!
A: Please note that NO Chrome extensions with a content script (such as this) are allowed to run in the Google Chrome Webstore (i.e. this page!)

Q: It's not working on other pages!
A: Tabs you had open prior to installing this extensions need to be reloaded before this will work. Otherwise check your org's policy on Chrome extension as it may be restricted by your administrator.

Q: I sync my extensions across different Operating Systems. Will this break things on e.g. Windows?
A: No. The extension does nothing on Linux to avoid ctrl-shift-pgup/down moving the tab twice.

Q: Still having problems?
A: Let me know and I will fix it. Don't make me ask for obvious details though. I would need browser version and operating system. Did you try it with no other extensions installed?

Cant alter shortcuts by design but my keyboard has no page up page down.

No longer works. Windows 10 Chrome Version 127.0.6533.89 (Official Build) (64-bit) Does anyone ever prune out dis-functional extensions on the Chrome Web Store?
Barbara Lance
Doesn't seem to work any more. Suggestions? I have this extension installed, Windows 11, now when I try it nothing happens.
Charles Smith
Move active tab to an index position doesn't work so this provides no functionality that is not inbuilt(left pgup, right pgdn)
Christoph Rackwitz
A few months ago, this extension gained the "ability" to move a tab "left" but back to the end. The other way around doesn't work. Would you kindly implement this for both directions, or none as it was before?

The keyboard shortcuts cannot be customized, making this extension largely useless.

Does what it supposed to do. A very simple, but very productive functionality, so much i think it should be chrome native. Thanks for create it and sharing.

Hey mate! I desperately want to use your extension for it implements the unique feature of reordering tabs to a specific position. However, after a successful demo run, its functionality has completely broken down in subsequent uses. I suspect that it might be clashing with another extension that I'm using in conjuction with it ('The Great Suspender') but that's just a guess. Please suggest a fix if one occurs to you or I'm afraid I reluctantly would have to switch to an alternative.

Must have! I've been using this feature in Linux since ever, got very used to it. Never really understand why the feature is missing in both Windows and Mac. Thanks a lot.

For anyone saying it doesn't work, have you tried restarting the browser? That fixed it for me. Works well but a couple suggestions: - Allow users to set their own key combinations - When using the arrow keys, wrap around (e.g. if you try to move the first tab left, move it to the end)

Thank you so much! Answers precisely what I was looking for, coming to Windows 10 from Ubuntu. The "need to reload tabs that preceded installation of this extension" should be made a more frontal note :D Is there a way it'd opt to override Google Docs so even G-DOCS tabs could be moved?

Brilliant. Should be default keyboard shortcut on all platforms of Chrome. Thankfully there are brilliant developers like bonstio.net to help us out.

It just doesn't work at all. Windows 10, Chrome 61.0.3163.100. The keys don't do anything. There's no key combination that can move a pixel. I tried to click on the tab first so not to have focus on some text field or anything but nothing works. I'll keep it active just in case. EDIT: deactivated it. I found another identical extension that does exactly the same (and works).

This is a nice extension. If possible, could you make the transition faster? Like around 0-0.15sec if possible? Then I'll give 5 stars.
