Search Tabs With The Vimium Vomnibar

If you use Chrome like I do, then you eventually end up with several windows with dozens if not 100+ tabs open. It can start to get tedius with that many tabs to find and navigate to a given tab. Someone might suggest closing a few dozen tabs as a solution to this predicament. However, Vimium offers a solution that doesn't require I kill my darlings.

The Vomnibar, a Vimium-powered search bar, can be summoned with T to only search through open tabs.

When I hit T, I see a text area (for refining the search) and then a bunch of entries populate below that which I immediately recognize as many of those tabs that I'm going to get back to one of these days.

To narrow down to the specific thing I'm looking for, I type something into the input. Then I arrow to the result I'm looking for and hit enter. And I'm transported to that tab.

If I don't like where I ended up, I can also go back to the tab I had been on with ^.
