## Description

This addon provides a keyboard shortcut to open a new tab adjacent to the current tab. It allows you to continue using the default shortcut (<code>Control+T</code>) to open a new tab at the end of the tab list and use a different shortcut when you wish to open a new tab next to the current tab.

By default the shortcut to open an adjacent new tab is <code>Control+Alt+T</code>. 
This can be customized via Manage Addons -&gt; Manage Extention Shortcuts.

Alternatively, you can click the extension icon to open an adjacent new tab.
