NTP and Command Extension for Edge
The default NTP of Edge only show upto eight tiles and a tiny favorite bar on the top. This left most of the space on New Tab useless. I developed an extension to make a much better use of space. You can find the Favorites, History, Downloads, Documents, Top sites and Quick links.
Shows up on top of any Tab.
By using a simple shortcut Alt+X it can show on top of any open tab (except the edge:// urls)
Turn your Omni Box into a universal Search
Just type .<space> and you search through :
1. Top Sites
2. History : type history<space><search_query>
3. Switch Tabs : type tab<space><search_query>
4. Settings
5. Close Tabs : do same steps as switching tabs just when you find a tab add -c to the text in omni box like act:tabSwitch-<tab_id>-c
How to Install
1. Go to https://github.com/Maan2003/command
2. Download / clone the repository
3. Enable developer mode in Edge
4. Load Unpacked Extension in the top right corner
5. Suggestion: Go to Keyboard Shortcuts and add Alt+X for the command extension

Not yet, It needs a lot of work.
I will make a github repository for the extension.
After 2-3 week I can consider publishing it to the Microsoft Edge Add-on store.
Work to do:
1. Favourites search in url bar.
2. make History search in url bar reliable
3. Make a icon for it.
4. Add favicon to all of the items in the new tab page.
5. Add customisation options.
6. Better scalling of popup on smaller screen resolutions.
7. make New tab page UI better.
8. make some sort of command language for url command.

As far I know an extension can't make change to the browser UI.
and I can sort the tabs according to there position in the window but I can't make them appear under the tabs.
and I have to design an extension that was the default icon I got the chrome extension docs.
