This extension adds the ability to set 25 different custom keyboard shortcuts for Chrome.
By design, this extension does not require any additional Chrome permissions at all. Everything is performed locally in Chrome, so it does not need access to any sites or data.
All 25 keyboard shortcut settings are optional and can be changed at any time.
All keyboard shortcuts can be changed at chrome://extensions/shortcuts. You can navigate there via your address bar, or by selecting options from the Keyboard Shortcuts extension.

Select previous tab
Select next tab
Move current tab left
Move current tab right

- (2025-04-21) Apostal Fales: lol, I do what I need after 30 seconds of using this extension, thanks a lot) <3
- (2025-03-31) Harris M.: Worked first try for changing tabs 5/5!
- (2025-03-18) Rexxar: very good
- (2025-03-16) ethan gritli: Works great, doesn't collect data on, has almost everything I need just wish there was a keybind to select the url, sometimes chrome lets you do it by pressing slash but only works when already searched something but wish there was a keybind that let you access the url bar whereever you are.
- (2025-03-15) D D: Great! I've always wanted to have a keyboard shortcut to duplicate the current tab.
- (2025-03-07) Igor Petrovic: Works nice, thanks! It would be cool if you can also select first and last tab like you can move to first and last.
- (2025-01-10) Greg Connor: Works great. I got used to ctrl-left/ctrl-right to select tabs, which I set up long back on another OS. So now Chrome does what I want.
- (2024-12-30) David & Rachel Schlesinger: just what I needed - makes workflow a hundred times smoother
- (2024-12-29) 姜旭明: very good
- (2024-11-30) David Wilens: Doesn't do much. I want to flip the action of J and K.
- (2024-10-19) Dimpact: worked well for me ngl
- (2024-10-16) Siddhant (kittee): thanks. finally alt + left arrow and alt + right arrow working for tab switch
- (2024-08-21) Dean: Feature Request: Keyboard shortcut to Move Current Tab to a New, Maximized Window. It would be especially groovy if there could be 2 keyboard shortcuts for multiple monitor users: "Move Current Tab to a New, Maximized Window on Monitor 1", "Move Current Tab to a New, Maximized Window on Monitor 2." Thanks for the great extension!
- (2024-08-03) Rune: Very limited on what you can do.
- (2024-08-02) Jaroslav Petráš: Nice extension I'm using for ctrl+arrows navigation within tabs. But I think it could be even better with possibility to set shortcuts also for tab grouops manipulation. At least for their collapse/uncollapse and relocation.
- (2024-07-10) Joshua Kuhn: Can't set shortcuts with the fn key???
- (2024-06-26) Robert Kaspar: Easy to set up and works. What more can you want?
- (2024-06-25) Michal: Very good, recommend for using CTRL + Z/Y to move backwards/forwards
- (2024-05-29) Aviv Ben Shahar: Awesome! ✨ Loved that it has 0 permissions required. I've seen other extensions that need to access my clipboard, cookies, downloads and more 🫨
- (2024-05-07) Daniel Eichenbaum: It works as expected, also the pin/unpin page is an impressive feature. Would be possible to include some smooth scrolling functionality? - just up and down
- (2024-05-02) Ben Mead: This is nice for a select set of keyboard shortcuts. No permissions needed, clear options, useful options I didn't know I needed. The architecture does limit the options however, and there's one more that keyboard jockies would love. A shortcut for "Create a new tab in current tab group" shortcut. (May not be possible in this architecture though. It's a menu item of the parent tab group only, mysteriously.) I do not understand why this can't be done within chrome already. Everybody seems to like to dump on tabgroups, but if you have lots of tabs open, it's a great way to organize tabs by function or by task, and then with the "Save Tab Group" toggle allow you to quickly switch between groups. Create tab in current tab group shortcut is a vital enhancement for keyboard shortcut users to self organize tabs within tab groups, currently it's all drag and drop/menu item choices, not that slick... (Shortcuts to activate a particular tab group would be nice, but next/previous group isn't quite as useful as click on button for a specific group.)
- (2024-05-01) Zack Liezel: Great, can you please add bookmark all tabs shortcut?
- (2024-04-30) Murad Magomedov: it works
- (2024-03-13) Aleksandr Murkin: it works perfectly on chromium and does not require stupid permissions
- (2024-03-13) Arc Lin: Nice! I can customize chrome hotkeys now
- (2024-03-04) Meric Yigit: Is there a way to assign alt + shift + ] it seems like not working for symbols and only for letters and numbers.
- (2024-02-23) Tony Woods: please support multiple modifiers instead of just 1. Would like to use "CTRL + ALT + Left/Right" to switch tabs
- (2024-02-11) Maximilian Müller: Right now it works perfectly, I was searching for a way to use "Ctrl + Arrow" for switchting tabs.
- (2024-01-31) Hyrum Carlile: Simple, lightweight, does what I need
- (2024-01-29) Han Don: Tried several extensions, this one is the only one that enable me to open history page with command + H in macbook.
- (2024-01-15) Fahmida Tasnuva: It's really good. It would be even more awesome if you add chrome://password-manager/passwords to the list. Which is pretty handy and some people uses extensively. I'll change the rating later.
- (2023-12-22) Killy: this is literally great just the shortcut app ive been looking but the sad thing is its bindings are too damn short we need a very complex and longlisted shortcut app but exactly with this app's design then afterwards we can conquer some distant planets idk its great but it feels like a demo version sadly...
- (2023-10-24) Emerson: I had an extension using a shortcut I need available to a website I use ... this extension let me change the extensions shortcut so the webpage could use the shortcut instead. Thanks for making this! 🙏🏻

- (2023-10-19) Winand D: Not really adding anything; What's wrong with the default shortcuts like these?; previous tab :Ctrl + PageUp previous tab :Ctrl + PageDown Move tab left: Ctrl + Shift + PageUp Move tab left: Ctrl + Shift + PageDown

- (2023-10-02) Selim Mete: Does what exactly what's needed without needing any permissions. Google should pay the developer and integrate this natively. Thank you SO much.

- (2023-09-05) Hyrum Carlile: Just needed the hotkey to command + arrow through open tabs like in vscode - this extension has that by default. Thank you!

- (2023-03-30) Janusz Kuszczyński: Tried many extensions. First one that actually worked, while being simple and robust. Super strange that this is not built-in feature.
