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.

List of keyboard shortcuts that can be set:

Select previous tab
Select next tab
Move current tab left
Move current tab right
Open Chrome Bookmarks (chrome://bookmarks)
Open Chrome Downloads (chrome://downloads)
Open Extensions (chrome://extensions)
Open Extension Shortcuts (chrome://extensions/shortcuts)
Open Chrome Flags (chrome://flags)
Open Chrome Help (chrome://help)
Open Chrome History (chrome://history)

silvercola 2025-08-31: Hi there, thank you for the wonderful extension! In the future, would it be possible to add a feature for a keybind that allows the user to switch to the "last active tab?" For example, let's say I am on tab 2 and click on tab 8. Every time I press the hotkey chrome would switch between tab 8 and tab 2, regardless of their order up top.
Liam 2025-07-11: can't set single key as shortcut
Apostal Fales 2025-04-21: lol, I do what I need after 30 seconds of using this extension, thanks a lot) <3
Harris M. 2025-03-31: Worked first try for changing tabs 5/5!
Rexxar 2025-03-18: very good
ethan gritli 2025-03-16: 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.
D D 2025-03-15: Great! I've always wanted to have a keyboard shortcut to duplicate the current tab.
Igor Petrovic 2025-03-07: Works nice, thanks! It would be cool if you can also select first and last tab like you can move to first and last.
Greg Connor 2025-01-10: 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.
David & Rachel Schlesinger 2024-12-30: just what I needed - makes workflow a hundred times smoother
姜旭明 2024-12-29: very good
David Wilens 2024-11-30: Doesn't do much. I want to flip the action of J and K.
Dimpact 2024-10-19: worked well for me ngl
Siddhant (kittee) 2024-10-16: thanks. finally alt + left arrow and alt + right arrow working for tab switch
Dean 2024-08-21: 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!
Rune 2024-08-03: Very limited on what you can do.
Jaroslav Petráš 2024-08-02: 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.
Joshua Kuhn 2024-07-10: Can't set shortcuts with the fn key???
Robert Kaspar 2024-06-26: Easy to set up and works. What more can you want?
Michal 2024-06-25: Very good, recommend for using CTRL + Z/Y to move backwards/forwards
Aviv Ben Shahar 2024-05-29: Awesome! ✨ Loved that it has 0 permissions required. I've seen other extensions that need to access my clipboard, cookies, downloads and more 🫨
Daniel Eichenbaum 2024-05-07: 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
Ben Mead 2024-05-02: 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.)
Zack Liezel 2024-05-01: Great, can you please add bookmark all tabs shortcut?
Murad Magomedov 2024-04-30: it works
Aleksandr Murkin 2024-03-13: it works perfectly on chromium and does not require stupid permissions
Arc Lin 2024-03-13: Nice! I can customize chrome hotkeys now
Meric Yigit 2024-03-04: Is there a way to assign alt + shift + ] it seems like not working for symbols and only for letters and numbers.
Tony Woods 2024-02-23: please support multiple modifiers instead of just 1. Would like to use "CTRL + ALT + Left/Right" to switch tabs
Maximilian Müller 2024-02-11: Right now it works perfectly, I was searching for a way to use "Ctrl + Arrow" for switchting tabs.
Hyrum Carlile 2024-01-31: Simple, lightweight, does what I need
Han Don 2024-01-29: Tried several extensions, this one is the only one that enable me to open history page with command + H in macbook.
Fahmida Tasnuva 2024-01-15: 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.
Killy 2023-12-22: 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...
Emerson 2023-10-24: 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! 🙏🏻

Winand D 2023-10-19: 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

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

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

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