About Split View Shortcuts
Split View Shortcuts adds the keyboard shortcuts and navigation Chrome forgot.
Chrome's built-in Split View only ships with one shortcut (Alt+Shift+N to enter split view). This extension fills the gap with seven additional commands, a live split view tab tree, inline shortcut configuration, and guided onboarding.
SHORTCUTS (7 commands):
• Close Left — Close the left pane (default: Alt+W)
• Close Right — Close the right pane (default: Alt+Shift+W)
• Separate — Unsplit tabs into separate windows (default: Alt+Shift+U)
• Swap — Exchange the left and right panes (default: Alt+U)
• Switch Focus — Jump keyboard focus to the other pane (set your own)
• Reload Left — Refresh the left pane (set your own)
• Reload Right — Refresh the right pane (set your own)
FEATURES:
• Split View Tab Tree — see all open split views across every window, grouped by window, with favicons, L/R labels, and one-click navigation to any pane
• Inline shortcut editor — click any shortcut in the popup, press your key combo, done. No Chrome settings page needed. Conflict detection included
• "SV" badge indicator when the active tab is in split view
• Guided onboarding on first install — walks you through each command, lets you configure shortcuts inline, and provides contextual tips
• Collapsible shortcuts panel showing current key bindings
• Zero data collection — everything runs locally
REQUIREMENTS:
• Chrome 140 or later (split view API support)
• Split View must be enabled in your browser
