If you are used to switch between open tabs in Google Chrome using CMD/CTRL+number of tab (eg. CMD+4 for tab number 4), you are probably tired of visually counting the tabs you want to switch to. This is what you'll get:
- Press
ALT+Tto see number of each tab. - When you jump there, numbers are removed to free space for original title.
Clone the repository:
$ git clone https://github.com/eliskah/tab-numbers.git
In Google Chrome, go to extensions settings (settings > extensions or go to chrome://extensions). Make sure you have checked developer mode, then Load unpacked extension.. and navigate to the extension folder.
Once the extension is installed and you have some tabs open, press Alt+T. Titles of tabs will be prepended with the tab index. Please note two things:
- Some tabs (new tab, extension page, Chrome Webstore page, when you are displaying files etc.) don't have titles altered (at least for now).
- When focus is on new tab, activating of the function is not working.
After you navigate to any other tab (using CMD/CTRL+index or by clicking), indexes are removed from the title.
If you want to use different keyboard shortcut, navigate to chrome://extensions/configureCommands and set it as you like.
