Overview

Perfect for comparing pages, copying information between tabs, or quickly going back and forth while working. No mouse needed, no clicking through tabs.

✨ Features:
• Simple Alt+Q shortcut (⌥Q on Mac) - fully customizable
• Switch between your last 2 used tabs instantly
• Works on all websites and pages
• Lightweight and fast - no performance impact
• Zero permissions required - completely private

🚀 How to use:
1. Install the extension
2. Press Alt+Q to jump between your two most recent tabs
3. Customize the shortcut at chrome://extensions/shortcuts if needed

💡 Perfect for:
• Comparing information between two pages
• Copying data from one tab to another
• Quick research and fact-checking
• Bouncing between work documents
• Any workflow requiring back-and-forth navigation

⚙️ Advanced Setup:
Want to use Ctrl+Tab instead? You can modify Chrome's settings file:
• Windows: Win+R → "notepad %LOCALAPPDATA%\Google\Chrome\User Data\Default\Preferences"
• Linux: gedit ~/.config/google-chrome/Default/Preferences
• Change all occurrences of "Alt+Q" to "Ctrl+Tab"
• Disable Chrome sync to prevent overrides

If the above way doesn't work for you, follow the instructions on this Gist: https://gist.github.com/ilyachase/49c7a6d1aa543d16568520560cfaf226

This extension is free and always will be. However, if you want to buy the author a coffee, it will be much appreciated 🤗
