Tabatha operating manual · revision 1.3.2

The manual

Seven panels. Panel 1 is the important one.

Press Alt + Q

Tabatha shows every open tab with a preview. You can let go of the keys; it stays open.

That is the whole product. The rest of this manual is optional, like most manuals.

Arrow keys or the mouse pick a tab. Enter opens it. Esc, or a click outside, leaves.

Your last tab comes first, so Alt + Q then Enter flips straight back.

Just type. Tabatha searches titles and addresses of your open tabs, and of tabs you closed in the last 7 days.

Closed a tab by accident? We noticed. We kept it.

Recently closed tabs and windows sit under the open ones. Enter reopens them where you are.

Seven days of second chances. More than most things offer.

Every window’s tabs in one view. Alt + W, or the chips at the top, show one window at a time.

Each card says which window it lives in. No more window archaeology.

Turn on tab groups from the switcher’s footer. Groups become sections. Close a group, or its window, and Tabatha keeps it until you remove it.

Your groups, preserved like a very organised fossil.

Chrome only lets extensions photograph the tab on screen. The footer button flips through your tabs for a few seconds, then puts you back.

A tab you have never looked at has no preview. This is Chrome’s rule, not a mood.
