If you’re a fan of getting stuff done with keyboard shortcuts, check out Omni, a new Chrome<\/a> and Firefox extension<\/a> for quickly navigating by keyboard. (The Chrome version also works with other Chromium-based browsers, such as Microsoft Edge and Brave.)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Once installed, press Ctrl+Shift+K<\/strong> (or Cmd+Shift+K on a Mac) to bring up Omni’s action bar, then start typing to search through all your open browser tabs. Selecting a tab from the list will take you straight to it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But Omni doesn’t stop there. Typing \/h<\/strong> in the action bar lets you search your browsing history, and typing \/b<\/strong> searches your bookmarks. You can also type \/a<\/strong> to see master list of commands, including things like pinning a tab, creating a new Google Doc, or clearing your browser cache. Omni even helps you learn your browser’s built-in keyboard shortcuts by listing them in its search results.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I’ve previously recommended Hare<\/a> for searching through browser tabs, and it still works well if a simple tab search tool is all you need. Chrome also has a built-in tab search tool, accessible by pressing Ctrl+Shift+A<\/strong> (or Cmd+Shift+A<\/strong>) on a Mac.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Still, I like that Omni packs more search tools and commands into one place, and it’s completely free with no sign-ins or creepy data collection. Give it a try and let me know what you think!<\/p>\n\n\n
