In Chrome v22 or greater bind the extension to a key once installed by navigating to chrome://extensions, scrolling down the bottom and looking for the link "Configure Commands". When in full screen mode you can then hit your keyboard shortcut, type your URL and hit enter. You can also click on a tab name to switch tabs, or ctrl+click to close it.

how can i use it?, i download the extension and activate it on but when i'm going in full screen mode. i cannot any sign to type the URL

Very nice. The launcher is just what I was looking for - it can open both urls and google searches if the query is not a url. But it's not a good tab switcher extension. It allows to almost never quit fullscreen mode )).
