  Managing dozens of open tabs? TypeTab helps you stay organized.
  
  Spotlight Search
  Press Ctrl+Shift+K (Cmd+Shift+K on Mac) to instantly search all open tabs by title or URL. Navigate
  with arrow keys, press Enter to switch. Works across all windows.
  
  Duplicate Tab Detection
  When you open a page that's already open in another tab, TypeTab catches it immediately:
  - Prompt mode: shows a notification asking if you want to switch to the existing tab
  - Silent mode: automatically switches to the existing tab — the duplicate never loads
  
  Settings at a Click
  Click the TypeTab icon in the toolbar to access both Search and Settings:
  - Enable/disable duplicate detection
  - Choose prompt or silent mode
  - URL-exact or domain-level matching
  
  Privacy First
  TypeTab works entirely locally. No data is collected, no external servers contacted. All tab
  information stays in your browser.
  
  Keyboard-Driven
  Designed for keyboard-first workflows. One shortcut to search, arrow keys to navigate, Enter to
  switch, Esc to close.

  Close Tabs from Search
  Hover over any search result to reveal a close button, or use a keyboard shortcut (default Ctrl+Backspace) to
  close the selected tab without leaving the search. The shortcut is fully customizable in Settings.
  
  Theme Mode
  Supports Light, Dark, and System (auto) themes. The interface adapts to your preference across popup, settings,
   and spotlight — with anti-flash support so dark mode users never see a white flash on load.
