On Mac you can add custom shortcuts for any menu option. I always have an additional application like this running in the background, offering useful keyboard shortcuts which automate and simplify tasks.Īlternatively, you can hit Ctrl + L instead of F6, which would be substantially easier as your hand does not have to leave the home row. You could automate the whole thing with AutoIt (under Windows) and create a Hotkey for it (here, it's Ctrl + Alt + x): HotKeySet('^!x', 'split_tab') This was added in version 1.43 (), Vimium on GitHub.Ī workaround would be: Ctrl + L, + C, + W, + N, + V, and Enter.į6, Ctrl + C, Ctrl + N, Ctrl + V, Enter and an optional Alt + Tab, Ctrl + W, Alt + Tab, to close the old tab.
With the Vimium extension for Chrome, Shift+ W will move the current tab to a new window.
