## Description

**Pinned Google Keep** is a handy Chrome extension designed to streamline your note-taking workflow by providing quick access to your pinned Google Keep tab. Formerly known as "GKeep Panel," this extension compensates for limitations in modern WebExtensions by leveraging pinned tabs.

With a configurable keyboard shortcut (default Alt + Shift + K), you can instantly open the Google Keep tab if it exists or create it if it doesn't. Pressing the shortcut again returns you to your previous tab, making navigation seamless and efficient. This extension enhances productivity by keeping your notes easily accessible without interrupting your browsing experience.
