Rename Tabs with F2
Description from store

⌨️ Rename tabs without using a mouse!

- Press 'F2' to Open Rename Page at any tab
- 'Tab' or 'Enter' / 'Shift+Tab' or 'Shift+Enter' to Move around tab titles
- 'Ctrl+Enter' to Apply changes and Close
- 'Shift+R' to reload connectable tabs
- 'F5' or 'Ctrl+R' to Reset changes (browser original)
- 'Ctrl+W' or 'Ctrl+F4' to Close without applying (browser original)

📌 'F2' shortcut and Renaming is ⚠️not available⚠️ at some pages (e.g. ⚠️ chrome web store page ⚠️, chrome:// pages, new tab page, etc) due to security reasons of the browser.
📌 When extension is 'first installed ⬇️', you need to 'refresh 🔄' tab to use 'F2' shortcut because extension cannot connect to tabs that are created before its installed.

Excellent

Extension doesn't do anything. Nowhere to click. None of the buttons do anything.
Kai Jaeger
Works perfectly with ordinary Tabs. Does not work with Tab groups as of 2025-03

Minimal. Fast. Efficient. Unobtrusive.
