Description of the new feature/enhancement

It would be useful to have a means to perform the equivalent to Ctrl+Shift+A in browsers such as Edge: pop-up a list of running tabs, with a search box so that it's easy to switch to another tab when 😜 you have (too 🙃?) many tabs open.

(Amazing, that Edge feature is not listed at https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/microsoft-edge/keyboard-shortcuts-in-microsoft-edge-50d3edab-30d9-c7e4-21ce-37fe2713cfad nor at https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/microsoft-edge/devtools-guide-chromium/shortcuts/)

Proposed technical implementation details (optional)
