Chrome - Are there any keyboard shortcuts to arrange tabs on windows?
Current Solution [2019]
There aren't any built-in, but there are extensions that provides this functionality.
I'm now using this chrome extension (recommended): Rearrange Tabs
You do have to edit the settings by going to chrome://extensions/shortcuts
and then changing the values as shown in this screen (if you want to match the Linux shortcuts).
Happy days :)
Legacy extension (2015)
This is the original one (not updated since 2015): Keyboard Shortcuts to Reorder Tabs
You need to reload all tabs after installing it or it won't work.
Ctrl + shift + PgUp
Ctrl + shift + PgDn
If you don't wanna use extensions, you can focus tabs using
F6
,F6
Now you're in tab-selection mode, and can use the keyboard for a variety of tab-editing tasks.
- Move cursor:
Left
orRight
- Move tabs:
Ctrl
+Left
orCtrl
+Right
- Move to the beginning or end:
Ctrl
+Shift
+Left
orCtrl
+Shift
+Right
Enter
focuses the page.
This also works very nicely with tab groups:
- Create new groups by pressing
Menu
,Down
,Right
,Enter
,Name of group
,Enter
- You can move tabs into groups with
Ctrl
+Arrow
- Expand or fold group by moving the cursor to the group label and press
Enter
- Change group settings by pressing
Menu
I currently don't know of a way to select multiple tabs.
If you are remapping these shortcuts using AutoHotKey or macros, use Ctrl
+L
, Shift
+F6
to focus tabs, and Ctrl
+L
, F6
to focus the page. These shortcuts work from anywhere, regardless of what is currently focused.
Please comment if you find more use-cases.
