About Switch Last Tab

Switch Last Tab lets you instantly jump back to your previous tab with one keystroke — Alt+Q. Press it again to jump back. It's Alt+Tab, but for your Chrome tabs, and it works even across multiple windows. FEATURES • One-key switching: Alt+Q toggles between your two most recent tabs • True recent-tab memory — reliable back-and-forth, powered by real most-recently-used ordering that survives Chrome suspending the extension • Works across multiple browser windows • Tab search palette: click the toolbar icon to search every open tab by title or URL, navigate with ↑↓ + Enter, close tabs with × • Light & dark theme support • 100% private — no tracking, no data collection, nothing leaves your browser • Lightweight Manifest V3, minimal permissions ⚙️ QUICK SETUP (one time, takes 20 seconds) Chrome sometimes doesn't auto-assign the shortcut, so after installing: 1. Open chrome://extensions/shortcuts 2. Find "Switch Last Tab" 3. Click the shortcut box and press Alt+Q 4. Done! Press Alt+Q to jump to your previous tab — press again to jump back. If Alt+Q shows a conflict, another extension is using it — remove it there or pick a different combo like Alt+Shift+Q. Perfect for developers, researchers, writers, and anyone juggling many tabs.
