About
Chrome on Linux lets you re-order your tabs using the keyboard shortcuts ctrl-shift-pgup and ctrl-shift-pgdn. If you use Windows or Mac these shortcuts are not available to you. This tiny, unobtrusive extension fixes that.
Shortcuts
Move active tab left - ctrl-shift-pgup
Move active tab right - ctrl-shift-pgdn
Move active tab to first position - ctrl-shift-1
Move active tab to last position - ctrl-shift-9
Move active tab to nth position - ctrl-shift-<2..8>

F.A.Q.
Q: It's not working on this page!
A: Please note that NO Chrome extensions with a content script (such as this) are allowed to run in the Google Chrome Webstore (i.e. this page!)
Q: It's not working on other pages!
A: Tabs you had open prior to installing this extensions need to be reloaded before this will work.
Q: I use a MacBook Pro. The extension doesn't seem to work!
A: Fn-up/down arrow is equivalent to pgup/down. This means that using ctrl-shift-fn-up/down arrow is what you need!
Q: I sync my extensions across different Operating Systems. Will this break things on Linux?
A: No. The extension does nothing on Linux to avoid ctrl-shift-pgup/down moving the tab twice.
Q: What did you test this on?
A: Chrome 11/12 on Mac / Windows 7 / Windows XP / Ubuntu Lucid Lynx
Q: Still having problems?
A: Let me know and I will fix it. Don't make me ask for obvious details though. I would need browser version and operating system. Did you try it with no other extensions installed?
Extore is a team of professionals who are passionate about creating extensions for web browsers. This devotion also gives us opportunity to appreciate work of other people. We get inspired by useful, open source extensions made by developers all over the world. Our strong belief is that one should share helpful add-ons with others. That’s why we’d like to present you our ever-growing list of favourite extensions that have inspired us. Moreover, as you probably have already learned, sometimes struggling for the best brings an end to the good. Talking about add-ons it often turns out that an upgrade is worse then previous version. Also it can become really tricky to get back to the beloved version of your favourite extension. That’s why we’re going to make not only the latest, but all versions of our favourite (and we hope yours too) add-ons available for download. No more compromises, just stick to the version you really like!
