CLUT： Cycle Last Used Tabs插件简介

CLUT： Cycle Last Used Tabs插件描述

This extension tries to mimic the ALT+TAB behavi from Windows( Comm+TAB in Mac) to allow to switch  open tabs in a Most Recently Used fashion. 
It remembers the der in which you switched tabs (made a tab active)  it updates its recds so that you can switch to the recently used ones quickly.   

Note: Sometimes after updating the extension the keyboard shtcut settings get reset. Hence you might want to set the desired key board shtcuts again in the keyboard shtcut settings in the Chrome Extensions page.


Please rate  comment.

The project is made open source in GitHub: 
https://github.com/harshayburadkar/clutchromeextension.git

Default Keys*: 
ALT+W: Quick switch
ALT + S: Nmal switch 
ALT + Shift + S: Nmal switch (in opposite direction)
*Keys can be changed in keyboard shtcut settings on the Chrome extensions page.



=Quick switch=: 
Use f rapid switching to last tab (by pressing once)  to the second to last used tab(by pressing rapidly twice)  so on.

=Nmal switch=: 
Use when you want to look f a tab recently used but when you would want to go in a slower pace (needing to glimpse f a bit to see if it is the page you need)

Most other extensions meant to accomplish the same thing don’t wk well since there are some limitations/difficulties in the Chrome API. This extension uses some basic algithms  timers of intervals  key presses to get over these problems. That is the reason there is separate keys f quick  slower switches with different timer settings.

Features:
* Can cycle through ALL open tabs from all Chrome windows in a most recently used der
* Extension DOES NOT need access to any of your visited websites data
* Can wk through tabs across different Chrome windows
* Snappy  fast switches


FAQ:

 Why are there two sets of shtcuts one f quick switch  one f a slower switch. Isn’t it possible to simplify like ALT+TAB behavi ?
A: There are some restrictions in Chrome API which makes it difficult to implement this feature in the most natural way. The intention was to make this extension wk as close to Alt+Tab in Windows ( Cmd+Tab f Mac). Unftunately due to these limitations though, this extension relies on time intervals in  your key presses. That is the reason there is a concept of quick switch (faster timer)  a nmal switch (slower timer).

 Where can I change the shtcut key f switching tabs ?
A: To change shtcut, go to the Extensions pane in your Chrome browser  in the bottom of the list of extensions find the Keyboard Shtcuts link. You can change keyboard shtcuts of your installed extensions  apps here.  
Note: Few shtcuts may be not allowed to be set by Chrome if Chrome itself uses that shtcut  the shtcut is needed f system level operations.
