Extension summary

Analyze keywords

Close Tab lets you close a web page in a snap with a right mouse click and a key press. This is often quicker than moving the mouse cursor up to the tab's close icon or taking your hand off the mouse to use a keyboard shortcut that requires both hands.

The shortcut key that closes the tab is customizable.

One of those "why didn't I think of that" moments Well, you didn't, I didn't, they didn't.... this dev did. And i'm really thankful for that :)

'No options for OS X systems' This extension only works halfway on my MacBook (2020, Intel); instead of allowing one to close a tab via 'right click and a button press' (in which the button can be customized, it only adds 'close tab' to the context menu. When I open the 'Options' setting, it brings up the dialog box "No options for OS X systems". Developer - your work is appreciated and I really hope you see this and can enable the 'right click and button' option for a smooth workflow. It's a great idea, one I can't find anywhere else. Please fix this functionality as well as add a 'buy me a cup of coffee...' to the Chrome Web Store extension description as I'd love to pay for what I 'd be using.
