Chrome tab and shortcut guides

Short, sourced guides to switching, finding and moving tabs in Chrome from the keyboard.

• Can you Alt+Tab between Chrome tabs? (Windows, Mac, and the Edge setting Chrome doesn't have)
  Alt+Tab switches windows, not Chrome tabs. Windows 11 has a setting that puts browser tabs in Alt+Tab, but only for Edge. Here's what Chrome gets on Windows and Mac, and how to get Alt+Tab-style switching inside Chrome.
• Chrome duplicate tab shortcut: the two-key trick, what it loses, and a keyboard fix that keeps history
  Chrome has no built-in duplicate tab shortcut. The Alt+D, Alt+Enter trick opens a copy without its back history; right-click Duplicate keeps it. Here's both, for Windows, Mac and Linux, plus a keyboard action that keeps history.
• Chrome extension keyboard shortcuts: change them, fix them, and bind Ctrl+Tab or ⌘T
  Where Chrome keeps extension shortcuts, why one stops working, which keys Chrome refuses, and the console method that assigns Ctrl+Tab or ⌘T to an extension anyway.
• Chrome tab search button missing or moved? Here's where it is now
  Chrome's tab search button has moved three times. Where it sits now, how to show or hide it, the Ctrl+Shift+A shortcut that never moves, and what to do when that fails.
• Chrome vertical tabs: how to turn them on, every keyboard shortcut, and what's missing
  How to switch Chrome to vertical tabs, what to check when the option isn't there, the Ctrl+Shift+L collapse shortcut, every tab shortcut that still works, and the one key Chrome doesn't have.
• Copy the current URL in Chrome from the keyboard (plain, as a Markdown link, or with the title)
  Chrome's copy-URL shortcut is two keys: Ctrl+L then Ctrl+C (⌘L, ⌘C on a Mac). For the page title too, or a Markdown link, Chrome has nothing built in. Here are the built-in routes, the share menu, a bookmarklet, and a command-bar action.
• How to search your open tabs in Chrome (keyboard shortcuts)
  Three built-in ways to find an open tab in Chrome from the keyboard, what each can't do, and a faster command-bar option.
• How to switch back to your last tab in Chrome (keyboard shortcut)
  Chrome's Ctrl+Tab goes to the next tab, not the one you just left. Here's what Chrome can do built in, and how to get a real 'previous tab' shortcut.
• Keyboard tab switchers for Chrome compared (2026)
• Leaving Arc for Chrome: get the command bar and tab switching back
• Move a Chrome tab to a new window from the keyboard (no shortcut exists, here's what works)
  Chrome has no keyboard shortcut to move a tab to a new or another window. What it has instead: drag, the right-click menu, a keyboard route to that menu, how to move several tabs at once, how to merge windows back, and a one-action keyboard move.
