Description

Hi,

I've fallen in love with navigating pages with f. (i.e. entering f and one or two more letters)

I want to have the same kind of navigation for open tabs!

Research direction

Start by tracing the existing f navigation entry point and how open tabs are represented. Define how the same one- or two-letter sequence should select among tabs, then verify that invoking f can navigate to an open tab without disrupting existing page navigation.
