Rated 4 out of 5
by Firefox user 13442481, 7 years agoOverall does a great job for the intended task!
Fixing a few details would be really nice:
- Allow rebinding the list popup hotkey.
- When typing to narrow down a tab search, the first item in the list should be highlighted.
- Allow defining hotkeys for moving up and down in the list (besides the arrow keys.)
I am coming from Chrome, and the equivalent plugin I use is called Quick Tabs. It also searches history / bookmarks if the search begins with a space.

(Not sure how to reply, so I updated the review to include other suggestions. Thanks for the great plugin!)

Thanks for updating your review with the suggestions.
1) Rebinding the popup key isn't possible in Firefox yet unfortunately. It'll be possible in future Firefox versions but I don't know exactly when. All we can do now is watch for the progress on this: https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1303384
2) Pressing enter from the search input should enter the first item in the tab list, but having a visual indicator to make this more obvious is a great suggestion.
3) Another good idea. Will definitely add this.
W.r.t to history and bookmarks, I'd love to add them. My main concern is presenting them in a way that doesn't clutter up the search results too much. Here's an open issue on GitHub regarding bookmarks: https://github.com/reblws/tab-search/issues/20 . If you have any more suggestions don't hesitate to contact me by email or comment in the issue tracker! https://github.com/reblws/tab-search/issues
