Feature Request: Keyboard shortcut to Move Current Tab to a New, Maximized Window. It would be especially groovy if there could be 2 keyboard shortcuts for multiple monitor users: "Move Current Tab to a New, Maximized Window on Monitor 1", "Move Current Tab to a New, Maximized Window on Monitor 2." Thanks for the great extension!
