Set custom keyboard shortcuts for Chrome: View extension options, or browse to chrome://extensions/shortcuts to set.
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.

- (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!
- (2023-08-23) Roach Sinai: How to support mapping Alt+-? Thanks!
- (2023-08-01) Tzlil Abarbanel: Love it. Using it for a while now, it's simple and just does what I want it do (in comparison to other extensions I've tried)
- (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.
- (2023-03-19) Ritesh K. Nayak: Amazing! No nonsense
- (2023-03-16) Clemens Ratte-Polle: doesnt it show all existing keyboard shortcuts ???
- (2023-02-23) Scott Hayes: yay. it did exactly what it said. simple. no bs
- (2023-02-14) Gen Dreid Fuses: Al fin puedo cambiar de pestañas con ctrl + fecha
- (2022-12-26) Arthur Wilson: does what i want :)
- (2022-10-27) Yuri Desideri: Really Nice. Has a nice interface for users and works better than other extensions for the same purpose.
- (2022-10-27) Guillermo Morales: Awesome extension!! But ... Wonder full work! Really appreciate it. Been using it with a honeycomb account and no spam so far. But .... needs a little upkeep because every so often (3 hours +) it stops working and I have to manually re-enable it. Don't know why but linux 20.04 with vanilla chrome and ALT+ARROW stop working. Might be SO and unrelated but plz checkout. For anyone wondering it is a super safe extension. My complain is a technicality.
- (2022-10-09) Jordan A. Joy: I love the simplicity of this extension! Just wondering if it would be possible to add a shortcut for fullscreen mode in chrome?
- (2022-09-05) 蔡庭輝: useful!
- (2022-06-01) josh wanner: It stopped working for me today. I will try to close all chrome windows and restart chrome completely to see if that helps. Already tried updating the extension
- (2022-05-26) John S: Ty! Is there a way to rebind the new CTRL/CMD + SHIFT + A to search tabs?
- (2022-05-19) Reinis Kromulis: There's a bug on Mac, for previous next tab. If you bind Ctrl+C an Ctrl+X for next previous tab actions in "chrome://extensions/shortcuts" Then when you try to copy the URL with ⌘+C or cut ⌘+X the extension will act as if Ctrl was used.
- (2022-02-18) Bernard Van de Ray: Just worked for my needs (remapping the select next/previous tab shortcut)
- (2022-02-11) Mr. Lance E Sloan (UMich): Interesting extension for people who love keyboard shortcuts. I wanted to set a shortcut that would open Chrome's Manage Extension page when I press "⌘;". However, that key combination isn't available for some reason. I've not decided on another combination that I'd like to use, but I'll keep this extension anyway. IMPORTANT: When this extension is installed, it overrides some of the shortcuts that have been in use for years. For example, if you're used to using "⇧⌘→" to select next tab and "⌘→" to move the cursor to the end of the line, then you're in for a surprise when "⌘→" selects the next tab instead! Go to the extension keyboard shortcuts for this extension to turn off all the shortcuts you don't need. It would be helpful if this extension had its own option panel to manage sets of keyboard shortcuts. For example, select "Chrome default" to get the shortcuts that come with Chrome or select "Keyboard Shortcuts extension" to get its default shortcuts and maybe give an option for the user to make their own sets. PS: This extension needs a new name! "Keyboard Shortcuts" is too generic! Name it something special and unique like "KbdShrtcts".
- (2022-02-09) Dale Yoon: Ever since installing this extension, typing "r" and then "e" right after on my keyboard would reload the current tab. This happens every time. When I disable the extension, it stops happening. Can you please check on this possible bug with the extension?
- (2021-10-21) Elienai Assis: No fullscreen shortcut...
- (2021-10-09) Zenon Ingielewicz: Extension on point! small, light, easy, only one shortcut I care about is missing: the new tab on the right, can it be done?
- (2021-10-02) Дмитрий: Very cool extension! The only thing that I would like to add a combination for Undo Close Tab
- (2021-09-04) Sunil Patil: Single key shortcuts not allowed .. eg prev tab -1, next tab-2, close tab -3, etc. Using them in Opera since many years, one of main reasons i use Opera.
- (2021-08-27) Gatuno: Almoust the best extention! Dear devs, cld you add one more shortcut option for FIND (base Ctrl+F). I'm left-handed and I'd like to remap (Ctrl+F) to (Ctrl+ArrowDown) for my right hand and then I can paste (Shift+Insert) some text from the buffer then Enter and voila - very fast Find shortcut. 10x
- (2021-08-27) Vincent Marie: Amazing its really helpful
- (2021-07-24) Unnat Shaneshwar: This is what I wanted! Perfect!
- (2021-07-05) Vasilis Mich: My only gripe is that I can't rebind Find in page to something other than Ctrl-F, so it kind of messes with my set up. Other than that It is by far my favourite extention to the point that I can bearly use browsers without it
- (2021-07-04) Alon Cunningham: It does exactly what I need it to do, I've tried other extensions that say they create the shortcuts but they don't work. This one does!
- (2021-07-03) uhhh hh wav: ngl this is really good.
- (2021-06-30) Eyad Elghareeb: very usefull and makes chrome much better
- (2021-06-17) Zularak: Limited Amounts of shortcuts (-) Has the most important ones. Open Bookmarks, Download list. Dublicate, Pin, Mute Tab. etc. (+)
- (2021-06-02) Baldur Helgason: Fantastic extension, simple and easy to use!
- (2021-05-25) Nelson Joppi: Needs more shortcuts, like close all tabs but the one you're in, and SPECIALLY re-open a recently closed tab. There are a ton of other commands in other keyboards extensions, like AutoControl. Get some inpiration from there!!
- (2021-05-20) LastSurvivor27: Really useful. It would be nice to have a shortcut for moving current tab left/right but respect tab groups and do not move it inside one but jump it. Also I would love to have a shortcut for opening the tab context menu (right click on the tab header).
- (2021-04-27) MrSvfree: great!
- (2021-04-08) Apple Bottle: Con esta extensión pude abrir el historial, favoritos y descargas en una nueva pestaña en Microsoft Edge, extrañaba mucho esa opción. Gracias!!!
- (2021-04-07) Arno Clr: Can you add a shortcut for this : chrome://flags/#enable-tab-search please ?
- (2021-04-04) Dustin Wehr: Great for security conscious people. Similar extensions require the permission to read and change all you data on all sites. Not cool! My only wish is that two modifier keys were supported.
- (2021-03-12) Owen Nash: I created a shortcut ctr-m to mute a tab, amazing
- (2021-02-27) Brendel, Matthias: no zoom in and zoom out
- (2020-12-27) Abhijith KS: THANK YOU..works as marketed.. on linux my Ctrl +W stopped working... this is a great option... thank you
- (2020-11-30) Gary Griffin: Chrome recently changed a built-in shortcut for tab search from SHIFT-CMD-E to SHIFT-CMD-A, which conflicts with me using SHIFT-CMD-A for Select Previous Tab. (see: bugs.chromium.org chromium #1153526) I've been using this shortcut for years on my Mac and really did not want to learn a new one. This extension allows me to have my custom shortcut back! Thank you!
- (2020-10-29) Ender- Requiem03: Amazing extension!!!! I love it is so useful when you make your own shortcuts ILOVEITTTTT
- (2020-10-26) Fewfre: Does exactly what I need! Doesn't require me to install some program or charge me for features I don't want; just does what it says right out of the box.
- (2020-08-29) cmnola: Great extension. It would be nice if the settings (chrome ://extensions/shortcuts) were available via right-clicking the extension and choosing options.
- (2020-08-10) Ryan Douglas: This extension works exactly as I hoped! I've set up my mouse side-buttons to be ctrl-Z and ctrl-Y - now I can use these to navigate forward and backward on web pages!
- (2020-08-01) Robby Bennett: It works great for me. It's simple and has lots of useful options. It's missing some shortcuts that could be really useful: - Bookmark this tab - Bookmark all tabs - Cast - Create shortcut
