Add Customizable Keyboard Shortcuts With QuickShift For Chrome

Chrome comes equipped with a multitude of keyboard shortcuts that allow you to perform some basic functions like opening and closing tabs and windows, accessing Chrome options, history, downloads page and repositioning and switch between tabs. However, all these functions are limited to the window you’re working in. QuickShift For Chrome is a Chrome extension that extends keyboard navigation functionality in Chrome across different windows allowing you to move tabs to different windows, merge multiple tabs open in different windows to one window and reposition an active tab using keyboard shortcuts.
