Description

What's New? Works on Chrome OS only now that other OS support this natively. About Chrome on most operating systems lets you re-order your tabs using the keyboard shortcuts ctrl-shift-pgup and ctrl-shift-pgdn. However, if you use ChromeOS these shortcuts are not available to you. This tiny, unobtrusive extension fixes that. Shortcuts Move active tab left - ctrl-shift-pgup Move active tab right - ctrl-shift-pgdn Move active tab to first position - ctrl-shift-1 Move active tab to last position - ctrl-shift-9 Move active tab to nth position - ctrl-shift-<2..8> Changelog v2.01 - Fixed for Mac v2.0 - Manifest v3 support - Only needed on Chrome OS now! v1.7 Thanks Yonathon Randolph! - Listen on keydown instead of keyup - Update to manifest verison 2 - Prevent events from reaching webpage - Minor code cleanup F.A.Q. Q: It's not working on this page! A: Please note that NO Chrome extensions with a content script (such as this) are allowed to run in the Google Chrome Webstore (i.e. this page!) Q: It's not working on other pages! A: Tabs you had open prior to installing this extensions need to be reloaded before this will work. Otherwise check your org's policy on Chrome extension as it may be restricted by your administrator. Q: I sync my extensions across different Operating Systems. Will this break things on e.g. Windows? A: No. The extension does nothing on Linux to avoid ctrl-shift-pgup/down moving the tab twice. Q: Still having problems? A: Let me know and I will fix it. Don't make me ask for obvious details though. I would need browser version and operating system. Did you try it with no other extensions installed?

No longer works. Windows 10 Chrome Version 127.0.6533.89 (Official Build) (64-bit) Does anyone ever prune out dis-functional extensions on the Chrome Web Store?

Doesn't seem to work any more. Suggestions? I have this extension installed, Windows 11, now when I try it nothing happens.

Move active tab to an index position doesn't work so this provides no functionality that is not inbuilt(left pgup, right pgdn)

The keyboard shortcuts cannot be customized, making this extension largely useless.

It just doesn't work at all. Windows 10, Chrome 61.0.3163.100. The keys don't do anything. There's no key combination that can move a pixel. I tried to click on the tab first so not to have focus on some text field or anything but nothing works. I'll keep it active just in case. EDIT: deactivated it. I found another identical extension that does exactly the same (and works).

Doesn't seem to work. Even if any of the combos would work, my keyboard does not have PgUp/PgDown and I don't see any way to re-assign the shortcuts.

Overview claims that it requires no permissions which is not true and it didn't work on my computer. Hoping he can fix these problems so I can give it a better review.

Does not function on Chrome (v53) for my Mac (El Cap). Tried all these combinations, to no avail: Ctrl+Shift+PgUp/Down, then Cmd+Shift..., then Ctrl+Fn+Shift..., then Cmd+Fn+Shift... Did not do anything in any case.

Hey mate! I desperately want to use your extension for it implements the unique feature of reordering tabs to a specific position. However, after a successful demo run, its functionality has completely broken down in subsequent uses. I suspect that it might be clashing with another extension that I'm using in conjuction with it ('The Great Suspender') but that's just a guess. Please suggest a fix if one occurs to you or I'm afraid I reluctantly would have to switch to an alternative.

I like the functionality, but on a mac laptop it doesn't work because the PgUp/Dn doesn't exist.

Works, but not immediately. Either the browser must be relaunched, use in a new window of tabs, or open and close a few tabs for this to work.

It does it's job. Would like the ability to change the shortcut and for the extension not to need access to all my webpages.

It would be better if I could change the commands and wrap around.

Very good addon but with a serious bug. If you have pinned tabs, the active can not be moved after the pinned tabs with the ctr+shift+1 shortcut. it stays where it is. this needs a fix.

A problem is that you can also reorder tabs using ctrl+shift+4 or any other number. This is bad because it overwrites other shortcuts (e.g. I use Ctrl+shift+7 and +8 for numbered and bullet lists in Google docs and Gmail)

Would give 5 stars if I could customize the mappings.

It was awesome until I realized that I couldn't use my gmail shortcut for bullets (ctrl+shift+8) or numbered list (ctrl+shift+7) anymore, which I use very frequently actually. Would be a killer extension if I had the ability to customize the hot keys used to operate it.
