Chrome - Are there any keyboard shortcuts to arrange tabs on windows?

Scenario:
I hit CTRL+T to open a new tab, but I don't want it as the right-most tab, I want to slide it a few to the left.



Can I do this using just the keyboard or do I have to use the mouse?



I can't see a shortcut here: Windows keyboard shortcuts - Chrome Help



Something like CTRL+SHIFT+LEFT would work nicely.

    Ctrl+Shift+PageUp/PageDown ? Works on Linux.

After a while I got an answer to this. Essentially there aren't any built-in, but there are extensions that provides this functionality.



UPDATE AUGUST 2018:



I'm now using this chrome extension (recommended): Rearrange Tabs





This is the original one (not updated since 2015): Keyboard Shortcuts to Reorder Tabs



You need to reload all tabs after installing it or it won't work.



Happy days :)

This extension does exactly that. Move tabs around with



CTRL+SHIFT+LEFT & CTRL+SHIFT+RIGHT



No frills.

Just one problem CTRL+SHIFT+LEFT is used for text selection : ) in an input box or text area.
