Extension summary
This Chrome extension simulates Firefox's behavior on the hotkey Ctrl-W on a pinned tab; it does NOT close the tab. Instead, it navigate to the first non-pinned tab.
Usage: You need to explicitly bind the key to ctrl-W in "Keyboard Shortcuts" in chrome://extensions/ to use the functionality (as in the screenshot). This is not possible to do automatically.
User reviews
It doesn't work
I have been waiting for this for so long. It works to mimic Firefox's behavior for pinned tabs. It is sad that Chrome is still unable to do this natively, despite feedback given for years
Honestly great - won't leave Google Meet while trying to press Ctrl+E to stop webcam again!
Would love an option to completely disable any action on Ctrl+W press for pinned tabs though, and also possibly a similar disable Ctrl+R for pinned tabs for a similar reason to above!
