Keeping Tabs 제작자: dartgoblin

Keeping Tabs is a lightweight Firefox extension that automatically numbers your unpinned tabs and enables lightning-fast keyboard navigation.

Why Keeping Tabs?

Built specifically for Zen Browser users frustrated with pinned tabs taking up the first keyboard shortcuts (Cmd+1-8). This extension solves that by:

• Smart Numbering: Only numbers unpinned tabs (1-9), ignoring pinned tabs
• Separate Navigation: Use Cmd+Option+1-9 for pinned tabs
• Visual Clarity: See tab numbers directly in page titles
• Clean Design: Max 9 numbered tabs to keep you organized

Features

✨ Automatic Tab Numbering - Numbers unpinned tabs 1-9 in square brackets [1], [2], etc.

⌨️ Keyboard Navigation - Jump instantly:
- Cmd+1 through Cmd+9 (Mac) or Ctrl+1-9 (Windows/Linux) for unpinned tabs
- Cmd+Option+1-9 (Mac) or Ctrl+Alt+1-9 (Windows/Linux) for pinned tabs

🔄 Smart Updates - Tab numbers update automatically when you:
- Create new tabs
- Close tabs
- Move tabs
- Pin/unpin tabs
- Navigate within tabs

🎯 Non-Intrusive - Only numbers first 9 unpinned tabs to encourage clean tab hygiene

How It Works

Once installed, the extension runs in the background and:
1. Monitors all tab events
2. Filters out pinned tabs
3. Numbers the first 9 unpinned tabs
4. Updates titles in real-time
