Wait for open popup command promises to settle before handling the next one. If the keyboard shortcut was hit quickly, it would cause the popup to open and then close multiple times.
Fix a timing issue with combining navigate to previous and toggle commands
Make sure calls to navigate to the previous/next tab follow any pending toggles, and vice versa.
Reset the toolbar icon if the toggle command is executed during the navigation cooldown.
Update releases/index.md with changes.
Enable a caller to wait for the next execution of a debounced function and trigger it immediately.
Add toolbar.setNormalIcon() method.
Wrap try/catch around calls to chrome APIs in popup-window.js.
Update babel target to 115, the minimum version in the manifest.

★ Use CTRL-TAB to switch between recent tabs
103
+
Opening QuicKey displays a list of the last 50 tabs you've visited, in order of recency. (When you first start using QuicKey, though, it won't know what's recent, so the list will be empty.) Click a tab to switch to it, or use one of the keyboard shortcuts below to navigate the recently used tab history.

With a little extra work, you can make QuicKey respond to the Holy Grail of keyboard shortcuts: CTRL-TAB.
105
+
🔶 To pick a recent tab from the MRU list in the popup window:
106
+
• Press ALT-Q (CTRL-Q on macOS) but keep holding the modifier key.
107
+
• Press Q or ↓ to move down through the list of recent tabs.
108
+
• Press SHIFT-Q or ↑ to move up.
109
+
• Release ALT (or CTRL) to switch to the selected tab.
110
+
• You can also highlight an item with the mouse, then release ALT/CTRL to go to that tab.

🔶 To quickly switch between the two most recent tabs:
113

• Press ALT-Z (CTRL-S on macOS).
109
114
110
-
You can customize the shortcut keys (other than CTRL-TAB) by right-clicking the QuicKey icon and selecting Options.
115
+
You can also view each tab as you navigate through the recents list, taking as long as you want on each, and then release the modifier key to stay on that tab. Make sure the shortcuts are set by right-clicking the QuicKey icon and selecting Options. Then click "Keyboard shortcuts", scroll down, and click "Change browser shortcuts". Look for the "Switch to the previous/next tab" commands and set these suggested shortcuts: ALT-A and ALT-S, respectively (CTRL-S and CTRL-D on macOS).

➤ NOTE: When first installed, QuicKey doesn't know which tabs have been

recently used, but as you use the browser, tabs will get added to the
117

most recently used (MRU) list.

➤ To switch between the two most recent tabs:

123
-
OR:
124
-
• Quickly double-press ALT-Q (CTRL-Q on macOS).
125
-
126
-
➤ To navigate farther back in the MRU list:
127
-
• Press ALT-A (CTRL-A on macOS) once to switch to the previous tab.
128
-
The QuicKey icon will invert for .75 seconds.
129
-
• Press ALT-A while the icon is inverted to switch to older tabs, once
130
-
for each tab.
131
-
• Press ALT-S to move to newer tabs.
132
-
• Pause to let the icon revert to normal.
117
+
🔶 To navigate while viewing each recent tab:
118
+
• Press ALT-A (CTRL-S on macOS) to display the previous tab, but keep holding the
119
+
modifier key. The popup window will stay open on the right side of the screen.
120
+
• Press A again to move down the list, displaying each tab in turn.
121
+
• Press S to move back up.
122
+
• Release ALT (or CTRL) to stay on the current tab.
133
123
• Press ALT-A again to switch back to the tab you initially started on.
134

➤ To pick a recent tab from the MRU list:
136
-
• Press the shortcut but keep holding the ALT key (CTRL key on macOS).
137
-
• Press W or ↓ to move down through the list of recent tabs.
138
-
• Press SHIFT-W or ↑ to move up.
139
-
• Release ALT to switch to the selected tab.
140
-
• You can also highlight an item with the mouse, then release ALT to
141
-
go to that tab.
142
-
143
-
Which shortcuts to use is up to you. Double-pressing ALT-Q is nice because there's just one shortcut to remember, while ALT-Z lets you switch between the two most recently used tabs very rapidly. (You can also double-click the QuicKey icon to toggle between the most recent tabs.)
144
-
145
-
ALT-A lets you navigate to even older tabs, though the timing can sometimes be finicky.
146
125
147
-
Selecting from the MRU menu by holding down the ALT key provides the closest experience to a typical ALT-TAB menu, but you need to use W instead of TAB to navigate while the menu is open.

You can change any of these shortcuts by clicking the gear icon in the menu or by right-clicking the QuicKey icon and selecting Options. Then scroll down and click "Change browser shortcuts". Look for the "Switch to the previous/next tab" shortcuts.
128
+
Unlike other tab switchers, QuicKey uses a Quicksilver-style search algorithm to rank the results, where contiguous matches at the beginning of words are higher in the list, as are matches against capital letters. So you should only have to type a few letters to quickly find the right tab.

If you enable the option to show the number of open tabs on the QuicKey icon, the badge containing that number will change color while you navigate to older tabs, rather than the icon inverting.

🔶 To search for a recent tab in the popup window:
131
+
• Press and release ALT-W (CTRL-W on macOS).
132
+
• Type one or more search terms, separated by spaces.

• Use one of the shortcuts below to navigate the list.

If you change the keyboard shortcut for showing the QuicKey menu to something other than the default ALT-Q or if you have a non-US keyboard, you'll probably want to also change the key that's used to navigate down the list of recently used tabs (which defaults to W). For instance, if you change the menu shortcut to ALT-Z, you might want to change the navigation key to X, which is right next door. To change it, go to the Options page, click the "Select the next tab" keyboard shortcut picker, and press X.
