This is great!! Just one feature request if at all possible: could you allow the user to customize the keyboard shortcut to invoke the switcher?

Thank you for making such a super useful extension :)

Awesome extension, disregard my previous remark about Mac OS and the shortcut key. Just fixed it with your proposed solution in reported issues.

@bs-harou: could you push the source code of version 1.3 to github? I'd like to contribute and improve this very useful extension but on github I've found only sources of 1.0.

Really Cool!

Wish_list (or just an idea):
Can you add a "Tab Overview" functionality on it?

Like (Mimesis):
Gnome_Shell = Activities_Overview
OS_X = Mission_Control

Or make a new "Opera 15+ only extension"...

Love it!

Wishlist (or just an idea):
selection of many tabs with ctrl/shift and closing/refreshing selected tabs from context menu.

[Edited: wishlist added]

It is basically impossible for me not to give this a 5 star rating based on the screenshot alone!!!

That aside the extension deserves 5 stars anyway. One of the features I appreciate most in older (Presto) Opera was the ability to use the panel to locate and switch to tabs based on title search. Your extension has restored this functionality!

P.S. "Martin Kadlec is cool" ;)
