About
Lefty – Close Tabs to the Left Lefty adds the one missing option from Chrome's tab menu: close all tabs to the left of your current tab. Features: • Toolbar button — Click the Lefty icon in your toolbar to instantly close every tab to the left of the one you're on. • Keyboard shortcut — Use Alt+Shift+L (configurable) to close left tabs without touching your mouse. • Configure your shortcut — Open the Lefty popup and click "Change" to set any keyboard shortcut you prefer directly from Chrome's extension settings. How it works: Click the Lefty toolbar button or press your keyboard shortcut while on any tab to immediately close all tabs to its left — no menu diving, no extra steps. No account required. No data collected. No permissions beyond what's needed to read and close tabs in your current window.
