I'm looking for an extension that provides MRU (most-recently-used) tab behavior in Chrome on Windows. This is generally hard to achieve as it's not supported natively but I think there's a trick: there's a CLUT extension that implements the MRU behavior (https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/clut-cycle-last-used-tabs/cobieddmkhhnbeldhncnfcgcaccmehgn) and I can manually update the Preferences
file to change the CLUT's default Alt+S
shortcut to Ctrl+Tab
. Then it works for a single session. The problem is that after I restart Chrome, the shortcut is back to Alt+S
.
So the gig would be about creating an extension (or an extension plus a small Chrome app) that:
- Expects CLUT to be installed
- On every Chrome start, or shortly after that, searches the
Preferences
file forAlt+S
and replaces it withCtrl+Tab
.
That's it. If I understand the security constraints correctly, this would need to be a pair of Chrome app that has the filesystem access and can write to the Preferences
file, plus a small Chrome extension that calls that Chrome app via some API.
Is that doable?
