## Description

Select Tabs is a lightweight Chrome extension that lets you quickly select multiple related tabs in the current window using a rich set of commands. It exposes both a context menu (right-click) and keyboard shortcuts to form precise tab selections, including URL-based, site-based, tab-tree, membership, directional, temporal, and selection actions.

Customize which commands appear in the context menu by toggling them on or off, and enjoy keyboard-driven workflows that keep you in the flow. The extension reads tab URLs and titles and detects vertical tab layouts without modifying your browser settings, with tips and notes to help you understand behavior.
