Tab URL Actions: Quickly navigate to a new URL based on active tab
Tab URL Actions is a free browser extension developed by woky for the Chrome platform. This add-on falls under the category of Browsers and specifically the subcategory of Add-ons & Tools.
The main purpose of Tab URL Actions is to allow users to quickly navigate to a new URL using the current tab URL as a parameter. By default, the action popup is bound to the Alt-R keyboard shortcut. This makes it easy for users to access and utilize the extension without disrupting their browsing experience.
For Chrome users, there is an additional feature that allows setting a keyboard shortcut to open the action popup in the chrome://extensions settings. Unfortunately, the status of this feature in Firefox is currently unknown, as mentioned in the provided link.
Keyboard navigation within the action popup is simple and efficient. Users can enter a search term in the filter field, and pressing Enter will jump to the first match. Pressing Enter or clicking the primary mouse button on a match will open the URL in the current or a new foreground tab, depending on the item configuration. Shift-Enter or clicking the middle mouse button on a match will open the URL in a new background tab, regardless of the item configuration. Additionally, users can cycle through matches using the Down or j key for forward navigation, and the Up or k key for backward navigation. Pressing Escape on a match will jump back to the filter field, providing a smooth and seamless user experience.
Tab URL Actions is a useful and convenient extension for Chrome users who frequently need to navigate to new URLs based on the active tab. With its intuitive keyboard navigation and customizable options, it enhances the browsing experience by streamlining the process of accessing new web pages.
