Nice work with this extension, I like that you've made it quite configurable. I personally don't like the auto-switch or scroll effect, but it's good that you added the ability to turn these off using 0 values.

Just a couple of things that I'd suggest to add some improvements to the extension:

- One thing that I'd suggest is adding the ability to Alt + Y, but keep the popup open. This means that you could then do something like navigating the list with tab/hkjl/arrow keys. Without this functionality, the extension basically works the same as pressing Ctrl + Tab, but with a rendered list instead.

- Another thing that would be cool to add is a search function, so that I can Alt + Y, type "hn" or "ycom" and the list would be filtered to show news.ycombinator.com ( also matches the HN ) in the tab title.

Both of these are already available in the vimium extension [1], but would be kind of neat to just have a standalone extension for this functionality.

Thank you for your ideas! I have a plan for adding the search and the ability to focus on the popup and I want to merge them together. I think that Alt+Shift+Y is not very helpful when you press it the first time, because it just selects the oldest of the visited tabs. And want it to focus on a special search item. Here is an image of what I want to do https://imgur.com/a/qlfVT0M. So, what do you think?

Wow, vimium is amazing! I've always liked keyboard navigation and used a site (long ago, can't remember the name) which was a google clone with keyboard navigation.

Thanks for sharing!
