Macos – Safari Tabs like Firefox / Chrome

firefoxkeyboard shortcutsmacmacossafari

Two things I miss from Firefox and Chrome when using Safari on Mac are the Command + Option + Arrows, that are replaced by Control + Tab or Command + Shift + Arrows, and specially the Command + #number, which will invoke bookmarks instead of tabs.

So I want to gather up ideas here on how to fix this. I've already found some on google, but I wish they were simpler – there could be a way to automate the setup.

edit: And that it wouldn't need a background app runnning.
