About WhaTab
# Overview
* This extension is a helper tool for Cmd+number (macOS) / Alt+number (Windows/Linux) tab-switching shortcuts.
# How it works
* While you hold the Cmd key (macOS) or the Alt key (Windows/Linux), each tab in the current window temporarily displays a numeric prefix such as [1].
* When you release the key, the tab titles instantly return to normal.
* This makes keyboard-based tab switching faster and more intuitive.
# Key Points
* Numbers are shown only while the key is being held down
* It works like a live guide—nothing is permanently added to the tab titles
* Leaves no visual changes once the key is released
# Limitations / Important Notes
## Some tabs cannot receive numbers, including:
* Chrome internal pages (e.g., chrome://extensions/)
* Pinned tabs
## Certain special or restricted pages
* Right after installation, the prefix may not appear on the very first Cmd/Alt press until Chrome fully activates the extension.
* Tab numbering may also be skipped if Chrome temporarily restricts access to the tab title for security or technical reasons.
