About
Embrace the chaos of open tabs—no tab archiving required! We all tend to bounce between just a handful of active tabs, even if we have dozens open in the background. AltCue zeroes in on that reality by presenting your 5 most recent tabs in a convenient popup. Quickly jump to your most relevant tabs and let the rest stay out of sight (and out of mind). Who Is AltCue For? - Tab Hoarders who keep dozens (or hundreds!) of tabs open yet only touch a few of them. - Multitaskers juggling work, research, and entertainment tabs at once. - Keyboard Ninjas who prefer quick shortcuts to clicking around. - Anyone looking to corral their tabs without the hassle of shutting them down or stashing them away in hidden lists. Why AltCue? - Focus on your working set: We know you probably only juggle a few tabs at a time. AltCue keeps those at your fingertips. - Stay in your flow: Instantly switch between tabs without leaving the keyboard—no need to hunt through an endless row of tiny tab icons. Features - Quick Keyboard Cycling: Press Alt + Q, then press Q repeatedly to rotate through your 5 most recent tabs. - Close Tabs: When a tab is highlighted, press Backspace to close it. - Audio Indicator: See which tabs are playing audio before you switch. - Custom Keyboard Shortcuts: Tailor AltCue to your workflow by mapping any keyboard shortcut to the popup. - Pointer mode: Prefer the mouse? Click the extension icon to open the popup and use your pointer to switch tabs. Pro For power users who switch tabs like it’s an Olympic sport: - Tab previews: See a quick screenshot before switching—a lifesaver for visual thinkers. - Dynamic Filtering: Filter by pinned tabs or by tab groups to keep your workspace organized using the Left and Right arrow keys. - Adjustable Tab List: Reveal more or fewer recent tabs using the Up and Down arrow keys. - All Windows, One View: Show your recent tabs across all open browser windows in a single list. - Themes Galore: Give AltCue a look you love with multiple themes inspired by popular browsers and operating systems.
