Quick Tab Launcher

Description

If you work with dozens of tabs open, you know the pain: scrolling through a cramped tab bar, squinting at tiny favicons, losing that page you had open five minutes ago.

Quick Tab Launcher is a better way to deal with this. One shortcut, Ctrl+Shift+Space, opens a search panel on top of whatever page you're on. Start typing and it pulls up matching results from your open tabs, bookmarks, and browsing history.

How it works The search uses fuzzy matching, so you don't need exact titles. Type "git pull" and it finds your GitHub pull request tab even if the title says "Add retry logic to API client #247". Results from different sources (tabs, bookmarks, history) appear grouped and deduplicated.

Built-in commands Type ">" to switch to command mode. From here you can sort all your tabs by title or URL, close every duplicate, mute noisy tabs, pin the current tab, or close everything except what you're looking at. No digging through menus.

Tab hygiene The launcher checks for duplicate tabs every time it opens. If you have the same page open in three tabs (we've all been there), a banner at the top lets you close the extras with one click.

Recent tabs and restore Open the launcher without typing anything to see your most recently used tabs and tabs you closed recently. One click to restore a closed tab.

Grouped view Press Alt+G to group search results by domain. When you have 15 GitHub tabs and 10 Stack Overflow tabs, this makes it much easier to find what you need.

Full-text search Turn this on in settings to search inside the actual content of your open tabs, not just their titles and URLs. Useful when you remember a phrase from a page but not which tab it was.

Keyboard shortcuts Arrow keys to move through results, Enter to open, Shift+Enter to replace the current tab, Escape to close. You can use it without touching the mouse.

Close tabs without switching See a tab you don't need anymore? Click the X next to it in the results list. The tab closes but the launcher stays open so you can keep cleaning up.

Customizable Open the settings page to adjust how many results appear, how far back history search goes, and other options.
