Quick Cast is a Chrome extension that allows you to quickly control your tabs, bookmarks and histories. Inspired by Raycast, a productivity tool for macOS, I tried to make a similar tool for Chrome.
After installing the extension, you can open the extension's popup by pressing:
Ctrl+Shift+P
on WindowsCmd+Shift+P
on macOS.
Then you can type commands to control your tabs, bookmarks and histories.
Once you open the popup, you can select a command:
