Reviews & Comments of QuicKey – The quick tab switcher chrome extension

First time to leave a review for a chrome extension. It supports pinyin to match Chinese chars that is unique. It can be seen from many details that the author treats this extension seriously.

Very, very useful

Amazing but two questions: - How is this better than "Quick Tabs"? - Can you make it behave like CLUT using timer intervals for quick switching? Thanks for your amazing work!

Solved the MRU tab behavior problem that I have been missing ever since I switched from Firefox to Chrome.

perfect.

Does exactly what I wanted: jump to last visited tab with CTRL+Tab. + it is open source! Thank you

I'm sorry, but this is too complex to understand

In Chromebook, Firefox and other chromium browsers with MRU do not play really well with the system and power efficiency, that Chrome becomes the only choice, this extension is a Life Saver! Shame on Chromium/Chrome team refused to implement MRU as an option. Even though it is not close to what is in Firefox/Vivaldi, at least we get the basic of 'ctrl-tab' MRU capability with this extension . Thank you so much for creating this! One not so ideal behavior is in chromeOS the terminal app is also considered as a chrome tab, so ctrl-tab would go to terminal sometimes, but i guess it is fine.

Been using this for years now. So awesome to be able to assign a key combo on my keyboard to switch back and forth between recent tabs. It's a must have for me!

After using QuicKey a few months I couldn't figure out why my operating system keyboard shortcuts like command-A for select-all text didn't work in the browser and realized this extension alters these keyboard shortcuts. I don't like that at all, especially as a default setting. Given the Chrome variants now include tab management I no longer need this type of extension. However it worked well in various other ways and given it is open source could have adjusted it given time.

I use this extension mostly for CTRL+Tab control, but it does have some excellent customizations, like searching recently-closed tabs. If you want to restore a tab from some time ago, you don't have to restore each tab closed in reverse chronological order. Just hit Alt+Q to type your tab's search string. QuicKey would be even more integral to Chrome with the ability to use CTRL+Y to create a "New Tab Next to Current Tab." There are individual Chrome extensions that exist solely to enable this functionality, so it'd a perfect feature for QuicKey to implement. I also posted a thread on QuicKey's Github discussion page about this feature request.

Finally! I found the extension that is capable of enabling ctrl+tab to jump over the recent tabs. The great feature is that it's possible to jump not only to the previous tab but through the whole history. Thanks!

Best and truly working than other tab switching extensions....

Great, I was using another extension for doing that. Then it requested more permission to read all sites data. I found this great extension with more features. Thanks a lot for the creator of this extension.

Thank you!

AMAZING...AMAZING...AMAZING... This is even much better than the Chrome's recent similar functionality. Keep up the good job

Really cool idea! It even works with multiple windows. So when the tab I want to switch to happens to be in a different Chrome window I'm still able to switch to it. What's more, recently closed tabs are included in the search, so you can easily reopen them in a new window. I love it!!

very useful extension - with lots of functionality

Nice

Solid extension, no frills, does what it advertises.

Excellent tab navigator

I love this thing!!!!

Works perfectly!

Very useful extension, great work man and thanks for your effort to make it!

Love it so far. I hope in the future update I can sort the tab by similar/same site, e.g I have 10 facebook tab and 5 twitter tab, so the tab list will sort based on similar/same site. Sorry for my English.

I love QuicKey! I use it every day because I always have a million tabs open and it's a lifesaver. QuicKey makes it super easy to switch between them. Whether I want to switch to the most recently used tab, or I want to switch to a tab that contains some keyword in the title, I can do it all easily by just using my keyboard (no mouse) with QuicKey. Thank you for the extension! I'm bummed that I can't use it at work because it's not on my employer's list of approved Chrome Extensions. I can try to get to the bottom of it but it seems like it's because QuicKey requires "Read and change" permissions (e.g. "Read and change your browsing history on all your signed-in devices", "Read and change your bookmarks") instead of just "Read" permissions (the other tab manager extension that's approved by my employer only has "Read your browsing history").

Thank you for AutoHotKey support to get Ctrl+tab working! Brilliant!

Best productivity extension out here.

FINALLY!!!!! THANK YOU!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Extremely useful extension! It does what I used to use two different extensions for. I can switch to the last tab with Alt-A (I have changed this to Ctrl-Q) and hit it twice for the second from last. I can also use Alt-Q to show the list of tabs, which is also available in full screen mode.

Simple, customisable and light! Exactly what I was looking for, very happy with it :)

It has been a long time that I hope there would be such a Chrome extension . Very handy and powerful. I love it!

Nice extension worth of many more 5 stars. However, I'd suggest some improvements: 1_ the order of tabs shown in QuickKey extension is varying and is also different from the actual order of my opened tabs in Chrome, which is a bit confusing. 2_ I wish I could see the list of tabs relative to my current tab. For example say I'm on the third tab out of nine tabs. I want to hit ALT-Q and see a list like this ++(+)++++++. Then I can switch tabs even without reading the titles, for instance, I will just do this: ALT-Q-Up/ALT-Q-Down to go to the next/previous tab. I hate the Chrome's CTRL-TAB and CTRL-SHIFT-TAB, they are ABSOLUTELY inconvenient and I'd do really anything to stay away from those! Thanks.

hi, really thanks for this great extension. btw somehow i can't use the move tab shortcut (CTRL-[ or ]) can you help me? thankss

Great extension! Very handy to switch between recently used tabs using one hand without reaching out to the touchpad or mouse. What makes it different is that you can scroll through the MRU list not only with arrows but also using a shortcut ctrl+w, and the tab is switched immediately after you release ctrl. The developer is also really nice and responsive. I found a small bug, informed them and it was fixed in a couple of days, so now I can use the extension smoothly. I'm very grateful for that!

Nice tab switcher. Some part of my brain really wants to insert spaces though, instead of selecting with space.

Does what it says on the tin. +1 for The Great Suspender support :D
