Description

Tab Groups have recently been implemented in Chrome. It would be cool to be able to hotkey to create Tab Groups and send tabs to tab groups (perhaps via fuzzy selection)

Side note: This is accessible via a flag that is meant to be toggled-on in Chrome. I don't know if this is accessible via Chrome extensions yet. I also have no idea what the state of this is in Firefox.

Research direction

The issue names no files, tests, or entry points. First verify whether Chrome or Firefox extensions expose Tab Groups APIs, then assess hotkey creation and fuzzy tab-to-group selection. Done means a supported implementation can create groups and move selected tabs into them, or the request is documented as unavailable.
