# Move Tab to Next Window browser extension
A browser extension which adds a tab context menu item (Firefox) and a button action (Firefox & Chrome) to move a tab to the next window.
Especially useful for these amazing multi-monitor setups when it's too annoying to drag tabs around between windows.
- Mozilla Firefox: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-GB/firefox/addon/move-tab-to-next-window/
- Microsoft Edge: https://microsoftedge.microsoft.com/addons/detail/ndjiippfnecdmbjenbcnjdbjnopkamno
- Google Chrome: https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/move-tab-to-next-window/ibpemckpjfpmhlagogddlajhaiemdjaf
## Quick feature list
- the source tab position is saved in all windows, so if it's moved back into a window, it moves into its original position
- CHROMIUM: if the tab is in a tab group, when moving it the identical group will be created or used in another window
- multiple tabs move - select multiple tabs (use shift or cmd/ctrl) and move all of them into the next window in the same order
- if the tab is active, it will become active in the new window
- if the tab is inactive, it will stay inactive in the new window
- if there is only 1 window, a new window will be opened on move
- keyboard shortcut support
