- Rated 3 out of 5by Firefox user 17449362, 12 hours agoI use this with vertical tabs and it works perfectly but since you can't change the shortcuts they overlap with the YouTube shortcuts

- Rated 4 out of 5by Andy19823981273, 9 months agoWorks very well except the add-on interferes with YouTube's keyboard shortcuts. When you use ctrl+(left or right arrow) on Youtube you switch chapters. I've been looking for a solution to this problem but can't find one. I would appreciate any help bc I do really like this add-on.
EDIT: Nvm I found a solution. Using Tampermonkey add-on I used the following script so that the Tab Switch add-on works before Youtube notices the shortcut being used.
// ==UserScript==
// @name Prioritize Tab-Switching over YouTube Shortcuts
// @namespace http://tampermonkey.net/
// @version 0.6
// @description Ensure tab-switching extension works without YouTube intercepting the shortcut
// @author You
// @match *://www.youtube.com/*
// @grant none
// ==/UserScript==
(function() {
'use strict';
// Listen for the keydown event at the capture phase
window.addEventListener('keydown', function(event) {
// Check if Ctrl key is pressed and if the key is left or right arrow
if (event.ctrlKey && (event.key === 'ArrowLeft' || event.key === 'ArrowRight')) {
// Prevent YouTube from knowing about this key event
event.stopImmediatePropagation(); // Stop YouTube from handling the event
// Do not prevent the default action to allow the tab-switching extension to work
}
}, {capture: true, passive: true});

- Rated 5 out of 5by Lydia, 3 years agoDoes what it says on the tin! I really don't see why Mozilla hasn't implemented this! You are a good man for simplyfying certainly many an ADHD tab collectors' search binge and I appreciate it. Simple and effective.

posted 4 years agoHey Erin, I'm sorry it doesn't work for you.
What OS are you running? Which version of Firefox are you using? I can try to find a solution.- Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 15902701, 5 years ago
- Rated 5 out of 5by Drew, 5 years agoThis is the greatest Add-On. It should be called "MasterTabs." It truly is a *master* at the simplest thing it does - switching tabs with one hand! It's the ONLY tab switcher with that in mind. If you're always working it going up-and-down and up-and-down your long, long list of Tabs, this is it! One handed HEAVEN! :-p
