How can I detach a tab from my main chrome window (into a new window)?

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).

Solution 1:

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.

Solution 2:

In case someone is interested in a current solution without extensions:

If you just start typing the name of the website you want to access or highlight the URL and press Shift+Return, a new detached window will open.
