tabtiles

Description

This extension displays a window's tabs in a bar along the top or bottom of the screen, useful for when browsing in full screen (F11) mode. The tiles are larger, so easier to click on than the usual browser tabs.

It also allows navigating through the tabs using the keyboard, using the left and right keys. Press Enter to select a tab.

Other features include:

Type-to-search: start typing to enter keywords in the tabtiles address bar, press Enter to search.

Choose when to display the bar: for normal restored windows, when maximized or in full screen mode. And / or auto-hide when not in use.

Customize the size of the bar, to a percentage of the window height.

Show popup hints, containing the full title and address of the page.

Release history:

0.9.0 Hide when viewing some media players full screen
0.8.13: Changed to allow clicking through to the page in areas where there aren't any tabs; now shows Untitled for pages with no title, and PDF Document for .pdf files - to allow the pdf viewer buttons to be clicked more easily
0.8.12 - Manually disable type-to-search or keyboard tab navigation; now allows 1-pixel activation height for auto-hide mode; set interval for hiding or switching back to mini mode; middle mouse button closes tab.
0.8.11 - Selected tab now has extra highlighting to make it easier to quickly locate. Fixed a bug where mouse clicks outside of the bar sometimes select a different tab when the button is released (i.e. when the mouse button was held down and then released at a different location).
0.8.10 - Changed to allow specifying the percentage size of mini mode compared to normal; also to allow setting the popup hint to "centered"
