Extension summary
This extension tries to mimic the ALT+TAB behavior from Windows(or Command+TAB in Mac) to allow to switch between open tabs in a Most Recently Used fashion. It remembers the order in which you switched tabs (made a tab active) and it updates its records so that you can switch to the recently used ones quickly.
Note: Sometimes after updating the extension the keyboard shortcut settings get reset. Hence you might want to set the desired keyboard shortcuts again in the keyboard shortcut settings in the Chrome Extensions page. Alternatively, navigate to chrome://extensions/shortcuts from your address bar to change shortcuts.
Please rate and comment.
The project is made open source in GitHub: https://github.com/harshayburadkar/clut-chrome-extension.git
Default Keys*: ALT+W: Quick switch ALT + S: Normal switch
