How to quickly open current tab in a new window in Chrome

• Your current tab is basically the tab that you’re currently viewing in Chrome. Some would prefer to call it as the “active tab”. By default, you can open a new tab using a keyboard shortcut by pressing “Ctrl + T”. Now, what if you want to open your current tab in a new window or popup window?
• For that, you will need to download and install “Tab to Window Keyboard Shortcut”. The free browser extension is available at the Chrome Web Store.
• After installing the extension, simply go back to your active Chrome window and select a tab that you wish to open in a new window. After selecting the tab, press “Alt + Shift + X” and that’s it. The tab will be automatically moved to a new window.

• Now, if you want to open that tab in a popup window, just press “Alt + Shift + C”.
• Now, to restore those tabs, you just need to select the tab that you wish to restore first and then press “Alt + Shift + Z”.

It’s really that easy. So, if you want to see if this extension will really work on your Chrome browser, go ahead and feel free to try it out.
