ReTab – a Cmd+Tab-style switcher for Safari tabs

Hacker News

Hey HN, if you do use Safari, try my little ReTab extension. It makes jumping back and forth between tabs way smoother and honestly improves my productivity & enjoyment a ton. Tap Cmd+E to jump back & forth between your last visited tabs Hold Cmd+E to show a list of your tab history to select (just like Cmd+Tab on macOS) Tab history is tracked per-window so cycling stays scoped to the window with focus. No analytics, no remote calls, nothing leaves the Mac — a single Safari Web Extension on MV3 spec + small Swift container app. 22s demo: https://youtu.be/oysvE06Ys-0 Any feedback or ideas are welcome!
