## Description

Detach the active tab into its own window with Ctrl+Shift+Space, then reattach it to its original window and position with Ctrl+Alt+Space.

Supports multiple detaches — tabs are tracked in a stack so you can reattach them in reverse order. 

Shortcuts are customizable via about:addons → Manage Extension Shortcuts.

Rewrite of the original Detach Tab extension by Claymont with fixed reattach functionality.
