Summary

Analyze keywords

Especially useful for these amazing multi-monitor setups when it's too annoying to drag tabs around between windows.

Quick feature list

the source tab position is saved in all windows, so if it's moved back into a window, it moves into its original position
if the tab is in a tab group, when moving it the identical group will be created or used in another window. When moving back to original window the tab will return into its original group
multiple tabs move - select multiple tabs (use shift or cmd/ctrl) and move all of them into the next window in the same order
if there is only 1 window, a new window will be opened on move
keyboard shortcut support

Open sourced on Github for transparency.

User reviews

The tabs can only move in one direction. From window 1 to 2 to 3. You can't move them from 3 to 1. Last window is the terminal stop. Using on Chrome version 123.0.6312.87. This is when using the keyboard shortcut. I see that if you right click on the tab, you can still go back to the other tab. But that's not much of an automation.

Exactly what I wanted, thanks! I wish the toolbar icon be more readable. Note also that kb shortcuts for extensions cannot be found in normal Chrome settings, they are very well hidden in the chrome page "/extensions".

Just what I needed! I can't figure out what the hotkey is to move the tab. is there an assigned hotkey to activate this extension or do I always need to click the browser extension on the top right?
