Tab Pinner (Keyboard Shortcuts)

Pin or Unpin a tab easily from the keyboard

▶

Tab Pinner (Keyboard Shortcuts) is a lightweight Chrome extension designed to simplify tab management by allowing you to pin or unpin tabs instantly using keyboard shortcuts. The default shortcut is Ctrl + Shift + X (Command + Shift + X on Mac), but you can customize it according to your preference from Chrome's extensions shortcuts page.

This extension enhances your browsing workflow by eliminating the need to right-click tabs to pin or unpin them, saving you valuable time. It also supports advanced features like pinning or unpinning all tabs in the current window with additional shortcuts. Tab Pinner does not require special permissions and does not inject scripts into web pages, ensuring a clean and secure user experience.

For developers or those interested in customization, the source code is publicly available on GitHub, allowing contributions or tweaks to better suit your needs.

This is one of the best and most useful extensions in the chrome web store and has been for as long as I can remember being a developer. I've downloaded the source code and looked through every line. Sad to see it being removed.
