Features & Capabilities

Tab Shortcuts

Shows the tab shortcut number in each tab title, like ⌘1, ⌘2, etc.

What it does

  • Prefixes each tab title with its shortcut number.
  • Matches Firefox's shortcut order and skips collapsed tab groups.
  • Updates automatically when tabs move, open, or close.
Limitations
  • Firefox maps 1 through 8 to the first eight tabs, and 9 to the last tab. If there are more than 9 tabs, the middle tabs won't show a number.
  • Internal pages (about:*, moz-extension:*, etc.) cannot be modified, so no shortcut number is shown there.
  • On non-macOS platforms the prefix uses # instead of .
  • Only tested on MacOs for the moment.
Permissions
  • tabs: read the tab order and listen for tab changes.
  • tabGroups: detect collapsed tab groups so they don't count.
  • <all_urls>: inject the content script to update tab titles on web pages.
