Tab Zap

A keyboard-driven Chrome extension for bulk-closing related tabs.

When you finish a task — a PR review, a support ticket, a research session — Tab Zap groups your open tabs by site and lets you close them in a few keystrokes.

How it works

Open the popup with the keyboard shortcut (⌘⇧Z / ⌃⇧Z) or the extension icon. You'll see groups of tabs related to your current tab:

Badge	Meaning
host	All tabs on the same hostname
peer	Tabs on a sibling subdomain of the same site
site	All tabs across subdomains of the same domain

At the bottom, a top groups section shows the three largest tab clusters across all your open tabs — useful when your current tab is a one-off but you still have piles to clean up elsewhere.

Navigation

Tab Zap is keyboard-first with vim-style bindings.

Group list

Key	Action
j / ↓	Next group
k / ↑	Previous group
l / o / → / ↵ / spc	Open group checklist
d	Close all tabs in the group (and current tab)
D	Close all tabs in the group, keep current tab
?	Toggle keyboard hints
q / Esc	Close popup

For top groups, d closes all tabs in that group without affecting your current tab. l opens a flat checklist of all those tabs.

Checklist

Key	Action
j / ↓	Next item
k / ↑	Previous item
x / ↵	Toggle checkbox
*a	Select all
*n	Deselect all
d	Close checked tabs
D	Keep current tab, close rest
h / ← / Esc	Back
q	Close popup

The top groups checklist starts with nothing checked — select what you want to close.
