Tab Search for Google Sheets — Keyboard Tab Switcher

Tab Search for Google Sheets adds a fast, keyboard-driven quick switcher to Google Sheets. Press Shift twice on any open spreadsheet and a centered search box appears listing every sheet tab in that workbook. Type to fuzzy-filter the tab you want, use the arrow keys to move the selection, and press Enter to jump straight to it — no more scrolling a long row of tabs at the bottom of the screen or reaching for the mouse.

It works by reading the tab names Google Sheets already renders in its own on-page tab bar, and switches the active tab by triggering the same sequence of pointer and click events a real click would produce. There is no Google API involved, no OAuth sign-in, and no access to the contents of your spreadsheet cells — only the visible tab names.

What it does

• Double-tap Shift to open a centered quick-switcher over any Google Sheets spreadsheet.
• Fuzzy search across every tab name in the open workbook as you type.
• Full keyboard navigation: arrow keys to move, Enter to switch, Esc to close, or click a result with the mouse.
• Free: unlimited search and switch, on every spreadsheet.
• Pro (one-time $6, no subscription): press Tab on a highlighted result to pin favorite tabs to the top of the list, plus a recent-tabs list when the search box is empty. Pins and recents are remembered per spreadsheet.

How to use it

Install the extension, open any Google Sheets spreadsheet, and press Shift twice to open the switcher. Start typing part of a tab's name, watch the list narrow, and press Enter (or click) to jump to that tab. On a workbook with dozens of tabs — monthly models, trackers, dashboards — this replaces scrolling the tab strip entirely.

Purchases for the Pro upgrade are handled by ExtensionPay, a third-party payment processor, on ExtensionPay's own checkout page — this extension never sees or stores payment details.
