🖥️ How to easily navigate between Chrome tabs?

👉 Having multiple tabs open in Google Chrome is almost inevitable.
You read an article, search for a video, consult a social network, make an online purchase... and suddenly your bar is so saturated that it looks like a untamed jungle.

In this article I will show you how to move quickly, conveniently and neatly between tabs to make your Chrome experience smoother than ever.

🌐 Why is it important to master eyelashes?

Each tab you open is like a window to a pending task.
The problem arises when you are 20 or more and can't remember where what you need is.

Spending time searching for the right tab may seem minimal.
But if you repeat it throughout the day, it translates into whole hours wasted at the end of the month.

In addition, an untidy bar generates visual and mental stress.
In the end, sailing becomes a chaotic activity rather than an orderly process.

⌨️ Must-have keyboard shortcuts for Chrome

The keyboard shortcuts are the fastest way to move between tabs without taking your fingers off the keyboard.

🔹 Ctrl + Tab → Advance to the next tab.
🔹 Ctrl + Shift + Tab → Returns to the previous tab.
🔹 Ctrl + 1 to 8 → Go directly to the tab of your choice according to its number.
🔹 Ctrl + 9 → Always jump to the last open tab.
🔹 Ctrl + W → Closes the active tab instantly.
🔹 Ctrl + Shift + T → Reopens the last closed tab (a lifesaver when you close something by accident!).

👉 On Mac it is sufficient to replace Ctrl for Cmd and you will get the same results.

💡 Bonus tip: If you are one of those who works with. two parallel tabstest Alt + Tab to switch applications and then Ctrl + Tab to switch tabs within Chrome. The combination is unbeatable.

If you click on it, a list of all open tabs appears.
