About Open Tab Next to Active
Opens new tabs to the right of your active tab — not at the end. Keep workflows organized. Zero config. Lightweight.
## 🔧 How to use
1. Install the extension (Chrome/Chromium-based browsers).
2. Use your browser normally — press **Ctrl+T**, open links that create new tabs, or open bookmarks in new tabs. The extension will place the new tab next to the active one automatically.
## If `Ctrl+T` doesn't trigger the extension:
you may need to assign the keyboard shortcut to this extension.
Open `chrome://extensions/shortcuts` (or go to Menu ▸ More tools ▸ Extensions ▸ Keyboard shortcuts)
set the `Open Tab Next to Active` action to `Ctrl+T` (or another available shortcut).
Note that Chrome may reserve certain global shortcuts; if `Ctrl+T` is unavailable, choose a different shortcut.
> No additional configuration required (unless you need to assign the keyboard shortcut).
