Tab Shelf 2024.5.0 introduces the long-awaited and highly requested tab group and window session saving feature. This release also includes a variety of optional quality of life features.
Saved tab groups and windows
Version 2024.4.0 introduced the ability to bookmark tab groups and windows, but version 2024.5.0 introduces the ability to manage these saved sessions in the saved items menu. You can copy URLs from these saves and even remove tabs from the saved sessions.
To save a group, right-click on a tab group header and select ‘Save tab group`. To save a window, go to the window filter at the top of the Tab Shelf panel, and when hovering over a window listing, select the bookmark icon to save it.
Optional quality of life features
Jump to the last active tab
This feature is disabled by default. When enabling this feature, you can click on the current active tab to quickly jump back to the last active tab. For example, you are on a YouTube video page and switched to a Wikipedia tab that’s at the other end of the tab list. If you want to jump back to the YouTube tab without scrolling, just click on the Wikipedia tab and your browser will quickly switch back to it.
To enable this feature, go to Settings > Behavior, and check ‘Click on the active tab to jump back to the last active tab’.
New tab button at the end of the tab list
This feature is disabled by default. When enabling this feature, you can have a new tab button available at the end of the tab list. It will always be visible below the last tab in the list. Please note that you can also create a new tab from the bottom of the tab list by double clicking on the empty space below the last tab.
To enable this feature, go to Settings > Appearance, and check ‘Show new tab button at end of tab list’.
Borders between tabs in tab list
This feature is disabled by default. When enabling this feature, you will see a thin border between the tabs in your tab list. This helps with readability. It’s recommended to use this feature when disabling tab URLs.
To enable this feature, go to Settings > Appearance, and check ‘Show borders on lists’.
