Comment on Show HN: TapTab – Tab switching web extension for Safari

Comments

Similar searching behaviour is supported in all major browsers including Safari:

Press CMD + L and enter the name of a Tab. One of the results will be an option to switch to an open tab.

In Safari, CMD + UP/Down jumps between sections, so that usually selects the "Switch to Tab" option.

It does but I needed something a little more focussed and featured. Safari surfaces a lot of information from Google suggestions to bookmarks. My brain really wants the focus to be just tabs. I like the idea of visually seeing a list. And on top of that really focussing the keyboard shortcuts.Also

- I can't switch between two tabs really fast. My workflow often involves alternating between two tabs.

- I can't quit, pin, mute a bunch of tabs using the Tab Overview with just keyboard shortcuts.

Can also press either cmd backslash or cmd shift backslash (Idr which and I'm not at my computer rn) to get a more or less useless tab overview, and then cmd F for your tab.

I wish Apple developed this more and made it completely driven by shortcuts.

In chrome, you can also do cmd+shift+a. Perhaps Ctrl+shift+a in windows.

Yup the cmd+shift+a in Chrome was something I wanted in Safari and was the inspiration behind this.
