z: fast tab switcher
Description from store

Want to boost your productivity? Quickly search within your open tabs and switch to the one you want -- all with just a few keystrokes.

After installing the extension, you need to configure the keyboard shortcut to activate the tab search panel:

1. Go to chrome://extensions
2. Scroll to the bottom of your installed extensions list and select "Keyboard shortcuts"
3. Set the keyboard shortcut under "z: fast tab switcher" (CMD+SHIFT+S works well, for example)

Now, press the key combo whenever you want to switch tabs. This will display the tab search panel. The tab titles and urls will be searched. Fuzzy substring matching is supported. You can also type "-" to go to the previously selected tab.

Requires browser restart, while no other extension like it does (Powerswitch, Chrome tabs switcher, Fast Tab Switcher, Tab Switcher)

I like the concept, but it doesn't work if the site you're on is set to capture keyboard commands (such as gmail). In this example, Gmail actually "takes" the input (instead of Z), and you may inadvertently change data on the site you're on.

useful, and brilliantly simple.
