Description

Description

Mozilla firefox-like most recent tabs switching

Who's implementing?

  • I'm willing to implement this feature myself

The problem

All hacks that implement this feature via extensions are buggy and not consistent. And that is the thing that I CAN'T fully switch to chromium for years now because of.

Possible solutions

Simply using the Firefox way of implementing it instead of a simple index that increments by ctrl+tab and decrements by ctrl+shift+tab.

Alternatives

I used nearly all the extensions out there for that.

Additional context

Contributor guide

Research direction
Investigate the Chromium tab switching logic, specifically TabStripModel and keyboard shortcut handling. Understand the current Ctrl+Tab implementation (sequential order) and design a Most Recently Used (MRU) list. Look at existing MRU implementations in other browsers or Chromium features.
