I want to be able to move the current tab from the window (with other tabs) to a new window, in the foreground, keeping all other tabs open. I'm using Google Chrome, always up to date, on Ubuntu 14.04.2.
I'm happy for a script / extension / similar.
Bear in mind I have a number of windows open (maybe 3 or 4).
It can't be closing and reopening the tab because I may have unsaved details (e.g. I'm taking a screenshot of the typed content).

Use Tab To Window extension of chrome. it will provide you several shortcuts to manage your tabs.
For example, use Alt+Shift+X to move the active tab to a new window.
The shortcuts are customisable.
