You can also hold Control and left click to do the same. Then just Control+Tab to cycle through your tabs.

Or ALT+NumberRow to select a tab

What if I have over 1000 tabs open?

Then you have lost control of your life and shortcuts are the least of your problems.

Then you’re using tabs as bookmarks

[–] SpaceCowboy@lemmy.ca 1 points 2 months ago

But I have over 10,000 bookmarks!

[–] TehBamski@lemmy.world 1 points 2 months ago

Then it is time to use the all mighty Left Click.

I happen to know from own experience that my Firefox will become slow and crash randomly when I get near 1000 tabs. Then I discovered OneTab extension and I just all the open tabs to a single OneTab page where it can be found later If needed (but I rarely do 😅). But feels much easier than just closing all.

You mean Control+NumberRow.

This is neat.

Different commands on different interfaces. On windows it used to be CTRL but on Linux I've found it's ALT more now
