Keyboard Shortcuts
Organize your tabs without touching the mouse.
Default shortcuts #
| Shortcut | Action |
|---|---|
| Alt + Shift + G | Group all tabs across all windows |
| Alt + Shift + U | Ungroup all tabs across all windows |
| Alt + Shift + C | Collapse all tab groups across all windows |
| Alt + Shift + E | Expand all tab groups across all windows |
| Alt + Shift + Space | Quick-switch: search and jump to any open tab |
Organize, ungroup, and collapse shortcuts are available to all users. Quick-switch (Alt + Shift + Space) requires Premium.
Quick-switch overlay #
The quick-switch overlay is a command-palette style search for your open tabs. Press the shortcut and start typing — tabs are filtered in real time by title and URL. Use ↑↓ to navigate, Enter to jump to the selected tab, Tab to autocomplete, and Esc to dismiss.
Premium expands the results to include hibernated tabs (shown with an ice-blue treatment and moon icon) and browsing history (shown in orange). Selecting a hibernated tab wakes it automatically. Selecting a history result opens that URL in a new tab.
On pages where content scripts cannot be injected (e.g. chrome:// pages), a
popup window opens instead.
See the Quick Switch page for full documentation on keyboard interactions, result ranking, and edge cases.
Customizing shortcuts #
Chrome lets you change extension keyboard shortcuts:
- Navigate to
chrome://extensions/shortcuts - Find Takt in the list
- Click the pencil icon next to the shortcut you want to change
- Press your preferred key combination
You can also clear the shortcut entirely if you prefer to use the popup exclusively.
Popup actions #
The same actions are available from the popup (click the Takt toolbar icon):
| Button | Keyboard shortcut |
|---|---|
| Group All | Alt + Shift + G |
| Ungroup All | Alt + Shift + U |
| Collapse All | Alt + Shift + C |
| Expand All | Alt + Shift + E |
Both the popup buttons and keyboard shortcuts apply to all open windows.
Button states #
Each popup button is enabled or disabled based on the current tab state. These rules apply to both Free and Premium users — the only difference between tiers is cross-window scope (already documented above).
| Button | Enabled when | Disabled when |
|---|---|---|
| Group All | Rules mode + there are ungrouped tabs, or AI/Domain mode + tabs are open | Rules mode + no ungrouped tabs |
| Ungroup All | there are tab groups | no tab groups exist |
| Collapse All | at least one group is expanded | all groups are already collapsed |
| Expand All | at least one group is collapsed | all groups are already expanded |
