Tablight

Hot key (Cmd/Ctrl + O) that pulls up spotlight-like interface for open tabs.

Tablight - Effective Search Tool for Chrome Tabs

"Tablight" is a must-have, time-saving extension for Google Chrome that replicates the functionality of Mac's Spotlight search but for your open Chrome tabs. By pressing Cmd/Ctrl + O, you can quickly search through your open tabs without having to manually navigate each one. For file openings, creating a new tab and using the hotkey's standard action remains possible. For any issues or queries, visit https://github.com/fouad/chrome-tablight/issues.

Didn't work.

Doesn't work. Even after setting a new shortcut key, it opens but doesn't do anything when you enter search terms.

Does nothing. Removing it.
