Nice, I wonder how it compares to hoppscotch.io

mrcaramelpantson Show HN: A browser extension that makes switching between tabs easier

Nice work with this extension, I like that you've made it quite configurable. I personally don't like the auto-switch or scroll effect, but it's good that you added the ability to turn these off using 0 values.

Just a couple of things that I'd suggest to add some improvements to the extension:

- One thing that I'd suggest is adding the ability to Alt + Y, but keep the popup open. This means that you could then do something like navigating the list with tab/hkjl/arrow keys. Without this functionality, the extension basically works the same as pressing Ctrl + Tab, but with a rendered list instead.

- Another thing that would be cool to add is a search function, so that I can Alt + Y, type "hn" or "ycom" and the list would be filtered to show news.ycombinator.com ( also matches the HN ) in the tab title.

Both of these are already available in the vimium extension [1], but would be kind of neat to just have a standalone extension for this functionality.
