Is there a real working solution to add MRU tab selection via CTRL+TAB to Google Chrome? [closed]

Question

I have seen a couple of hacks on the web, but none that work properly.

https://www.google.com.au/url?sa=t&rct=j&q=&esrc=s&source=web&cd=4&sqi=2&ved=0CGoQFjAD&url=https%3A%2F%2Fgithub.com%2Facemtp%2Fchrome_mru&ei=N93fT62FG8q4iQfY5oyVCg&usg=AFQjCNF11T4hlJ5ID44TLuHut0PN9TbuEQ

And the extensions available also don't offer such functionality.
Is it even possible, with a combination of autohotkeys (or similar) and an extension?

Answer 1

Yes, there is a perfectly working solution.
This extension Tab Thumbnails Switcher can redefine Ctrl+Tab and Ctrl+Shift+Tab to select tabs in MRU order the same way you swich between programs with Alt+Tab in Windows.

The best part is that the tab selector box is implemented natively, so it doesn't need to inject javascript on each tab for it to work. It works reliably on all tabs.

There's also a demonstrative video here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2HC7_EI8db4

Answer 2

Another option I just found Yesterday (and until now it seems to work very well) is: AutoControl Shortcut Manager: https://www.autocontrol.app/switch-to-last-used-tab-in-chrome#MRU-tabs Steps:

• Install chrome extension: AutoControl Shortcut Manager
• Install also the required exe file: Native-Component.exe (It will be prompted to be downloaded after the extension is installed. For me it didn't require admin rights. I hope it's ok ...)
• Configure the extension based on the tutorial (9 steps) from the official web page: Cycle through all tabs in MRU order
• Enjoy ctrl+tab behavior :)
