## Description

Easy Container Shortcuts provides quick, keyboard-driven container tab and window management for Chrome. Press `Ctrl + Shift + X` to search for a container and open a new tab in it, navigate with the arrow keys, and press `Enter` to open or `Ctrl + Enter` to open in a new window. Open a new tab on a specific container with `Ctrl + Shift + [1-9]` (or `Alt + Shift + [1-9]` on Mac).

Open a tab on the current container with `Ctrl (Cmd on Mac) + Alt + T`. Reopen the current tab in a chosen container with `Ctrl (Cmd on Mac) + Alt + [1-9]`, or reopen in the default container with `Ctrl (Cmd on Mac) + Alt + 0`. Create a New Window on the current container with `Alt (Ctrl on Mac) + Shift + T`, or on a specified container with `Alt (Ctrl on Mac) + Shift + [1-9]`.
