Per title, ever since the extension was updated on Feb 17th, this stopped working in linux. Used to work with ctrl + alt + left|right arrow and now it doesn't.

Fixed by customizing the extension in chrome://extensions/shortcuts per README but odd that it doesn't work by default.

Dear @mohnish,

Your work on this extension is very much appreciated!

I have a request.

Would you be able to implement a feature by which clicking the extension icon would move the active tab to the far right?

Yours

Refer: https://developer.chrome.com/apps/commands

For the suggested_key key,

// left
"suggested_key": {
  "default": "Shift+Alt+Left",
  "windows": "Shift+Alt+Left",
  "mac": "MacCtrl+Shift+Left",
  "chromeos": "Shift+Alt+Left",
  "linux": "Shift+Alt+Left"
}

// right
"suggested_key": {
  "default": "Shift+Alt+Right",
  "windows": "Shift+Alt+Right",
  "mac": "MacCtrl+Shift+Right",
  "chromeos": "Shift+Alt+Right",
  "linux": "Shift+Alt+Right"
}

Versions:
On Mac High Sierra 10.13.2 (17C205
Rearrange Tabs 2.1.6
Version 69.0.3497.100 (Official Build) (64-bit)

In the chrome address bar, If you use alt + shrift + left|right arrow, it acts like ctrl + shift + left|right arrow, where it moves tab around instead of marking the text in the address bar. Suspect there is some bugs that mixed windows and mac shortcuts.

It might be good to describe #27 #34 to readme.

I cannot pin down exactly why though, not sure how to debug.

Chrome version: Version 99.0.4844.51 (Official Build) (x86_64)
MacOS version: 11.5.2 (20G95)
Shortcuts used: option-H, option-L

I've systematically removed all extensions, and added them back one by one and it's always this plugin that causes crashes.

The crashes sometimes occur without the extension, but as soon as I reenable it they come back with a lot of frequency (few times a day).

Wondering whether there's a bug in Chrome JS engine and this extension happens to use an API that triggers the bug. Super strange as this extension is so simple.

First off thank you for a great simple and open source (fuck yeah!) extension.
My issue is more of a question: why does this extension require access to users' browser history?

3.0 cleared the shortcuts for Linux users. I had to configure them again from the /shortcuts page. Can anyone else replicate this? Running Google Chrome on Debian 11.

I tried to set cmd+ctrl+[ for moving tab left and cmd+ctrl+] for moving tab right, and both were not accepted. Anything else that I tried was OK.

Currently, when the tab is moved to the first position (0) and gets moved left one more time, it goes to the last position (n). This is how the tab moves should work when moved to the rightmost end.

Thank you for the extension! After a fresh Mac install, my previous extensions that did the move/pin tab job just vanished and I end up installing yours. Great. It works! However, what I miss is the pin tab functionality. Any chance you could add it as well?

For some reason, this extension doesn't work with Arc browser.

Perhaps I'm imagining things, but am I correct in thinking that when a tab is in the last position and you move it right, it should move to the beginning of the tab list? Conversely, when the tab is at the beginning and you move it left, it should move to the end?

Currently this is not happening. Thanks for any help you can provide.

This makes highlighting the next word with shift+left/right arrows impossibru

shift+alt for chrome overrides hotkey for highlighting by word.
add option to use a user defined hotkey if not the default one

Linux already natively has Ctrl+Shift+PgUp/etc. to do this very thing, and given that you can't selectively not sync extensions in Chrome, I feel it may be best to just detect and not add the listener on Linux.

(I only just started using this on Mac, BTW.)

When the cursor is focused in the address bar on a Mac, and I hit Opt-Shift-Left/Right arrow to select a word in the address bar (this is the universal key combo on Mac), then it instead moves the tab left and right, even when I'm using the default shortcuts, which are Ctrl-Shift-Left/Right.

When selecting tabs with ctrl (on windows), only the last selected tabs is moved, not all that were selected.

Please add an option to move several tabs at once.

Starting from Chrome 102, moving tabs using keyboard is a native feature in Chrome. Read more

I was initially excited and considering retiring this extension in favor of the new feature. But, after trying it out myself, the implementation seemed inferior for the following reasons -

• Chrome doesn't offer keyboard shortcut customization
• For Mac users, you'd have to use Ctrl+Opt+Fn+[up/down]. This is a handful and not all that comfortable (I've tried it myself)
• It doesn't seem to support pinned tabs
• It doesn't seem to support multiple selected tabs
• It doesn't seem to support groups either

As a result, I'll continue developing the extension since it's loved and widely used ❤️

PS: Our extension recently got the "Featured" tag on the Chrome Web Store

Once again, thank you, everyone!

Right now, it doesn't look like it's obvious that you can configure the keyboard shortcuts to invoke the extension. Will come up with a way to make it obvious.

Hi there,

That would be awesome to have a way to create/manage groups of tabs using a shortcut in addition to the existing (super useful!) features. For instance, one shortcut to create a new group and one other tomove the current tab to a group lying on the right left.

Any reason this feature shouldn't work? I'm not familiar with the extension API.

First off, I love this extension - thanks for creating it @mohnish!

Problem

Previously when a tab was at "the end", it could be "wrapped around" by pressing the move key again. E.g. If a tab is in the very right-most position and I press the move selected tab(s) right hotkey the tab would move into the first position (far left).

This isn't major by any means but I really enjoyed moving the tabs I deemed to be the most important back to the front in this way before clearing out the rest of my tabs.

Solution

• Tabs should move to the start/end if the move key is pressed while they're in the last/first position

Notes

I'd be up for trying to implement this functionality if desired

Not an issue, but easiest way to say thanks! Well done.

Hi! This extension is really great, thank you for making this!

I'm having an issue with the shortcut. I have already overridden the shortcut to be ctrl-shift+left / right, and that works great. If I'm on a tab, and I click on the URL bar, and try to select a part of the URL, option-shift-left / right move the tab. This does not happen if I do not have the url highlighted.

I use option-shift-left / right a lot to navigate strings. Is there any way to keep that shortcut? When I disable rearrange tabs it does work again. I'm on BigSur and Chrome version 92.

In this recording you can see I have set shortcuts. First I use my shortcuts, which work correctly. I try to use option-shift-left and right, and nothing happens. Then I highlight the URL and use option-shift-left / right again, and the tab moves left and right.

Thank you!

Hello!

When attempting to reassign a shortcut, it's not possible to set characters like [ or ]. It would be fancy if shortcuts like ctrl + shift + [ could be assigned (since moving between tabs already works with cmd + shifg + [ etc).

A different key combo to avoid overriding the highlighting issue and I want to use keys that are familiar to me.

Trying to select text in a new tab URL window with the shift-option-arrow keys shortcut activates the Rearrange Tabs extension.

Thanks so much for this awesome extension! I'm amazed that the Google/Chromium teams still haven't included this simple functionality.

Anyway. The one thing that I think would make this perfect, would be to add an extension config view that allows for the shortcuts to be configurable.

For example, on OSX, instead of CTRL+SHIFT+[arrow] for the operations, I'd love to be able to use ⌘CMD+SHIFT+[arrow].

Again, thanks so much for this extension. It's already awesome!

Upgrade Rearrange Tabs extension to adapt to https://developer.chrome.com/docs/extensions/mv3/intro/

My aim is to see if this fixes the long-standing bug: #27

1. Verify the extension works with the above listed browsers
2. Update README to include this information

In Chrome 69 (Mac), default keyboard shortcut crashes.

Basic shortcut is Ctrl + Shift + Left/Right.

But Chrome 69, Alt + Shift + Left/Right is also works.

Using Art crashes system shortcut of mac.

The current version of README involves a few steps to get to the dialog where the users can customize keyboard shortcuts. This needs to be updated to simplify the process of customization, since, there's a URL that allows the users to directly get to the keyboard shortcut customization dialog:

chrome://extensions/configureCommands

Highlight address bar.

Alt/Option + Shift + <-- should do word selection stuff. Instead it now shifts tabs around.

Thanks for helpful extension. I use it all the time.

I noticed with version 3.0.0 the circular tab move stopped working

My setup:

When the address bar is selected, the shortcut ALT+SHIFT+LEFT, ALT+SHIFT+RIGHT, ALT+SHIFT+UP or ALT+SHIFT+DOWN moves the tab position.

The regular shortcut (the one I picked) works properly.

This prevents me from selecting part of a URL to copy it for instance. Instead of moving the cursor, it moves the tab.

Feature Request: Move tabs to previous/next window

Edit: It looks like there is an outstanding PR for this feature: #25

Chrome has introduced a new concept of Grouping Tabs. Look into any supported public APIs that can be leveraged to incorporate in the Rearrange Tabs Chrome extension: https://blog.google/products/chrome/manage-tabs-with-google-chrome/

I tried to change the move left/right shortcut to command+shift+[ and command+shift+] but
I'm prompted to "type a letter".

Can the validation be relax to allow this?
