About

🚀 Switch tabs like a pro — just like in your favorite IDE!

Tired of Chrome's default Ctrl+Tab that cycles through tabs in order? Last Tab brings IDE-style tab switching to your browser. Jump instantly to the tab you were just viewing, or navigate through your recent tab history.

━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
⌨️ KEYBOARD SHORTCUTS
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━

• Ctrl+Q — Quick switch to previous tab
  Hold Ctrl and press Q multiple times to go further back in history.
  A popup shows your recent tabs while you navigate.
  Release Ctrl to switch to the selected tab.

• Ctrl+Shift+Q — Open Recent Tabs popup
  Browse all your tabs with search/filter.
  Use arrow keys to navigate, Enter to select.

macOS: Use Control instead of Ctrl (Command+Q quits apps)

✨ KEY FEATURES
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━

📌 MRU (Most Recently Used) Navigation
Switch tabs based on when you last used them, not their position. Perfect for comparing two pages — press Ctrl+Q twice to ping-pong between them.

🔍 Search & Filter
Quickly find any open tab by typing in the Recent Tabs popup. Searches both tab titles and URLs.

🪟 Cross-Window Support
Navigate between tabs across all Chrome windows seamlessly.

⚡ Auto-Switch on Close
When you close a tab, automatically jump to the previous one (optional, can be disabled).

🎨 Dark Mode Support
Clean, minimal interface that adapts to your system theme.
