Fast Page Switch
Fast Page Switch
Description
This plugin adds a metabox to the edit screen for any post type. The metabox lets you quickly switch between all available posts using the Select2 jQuery plugin. No need to visit “All Posts“ first. You can use the settings page to determine for which post types (e.g. Pages, Posts, etc.) the metabox should be available.

Still works out of the box 2019
By 
As this plugin was not updated for 3 years, I hesitated to give it a try.
However it still works in may 2019 on WP 5.2.1
Hope the author would consider keeping it up to date in the future.
Thanks,
Annie
Easier for Me than Opening a New Tab
By 
A very useful Plugin. Switching between pages/posts can also be achieved w/o this plugin by opening another tab. But I agree with the author (Marc Wiest) that it might be easier on your cognition (it is on mine) to be able to switch between pages without having to scan through a bunch of tabs on top of the browser. (Marc wrote why he created this plugin on WP Tavern in an article by Jeff Chandler: https://wptavern.com/fast-page-switch-adds-a-quick-way-to-switch-between-pages-in-the-wordpress-backend).

This simple plugin works very well and saves a lot of clicks and time.
The intuitive interface is a breath of fresh air; it just makes sense. The current post is preselected. Post types are grouped which is great when you have multiple custom post types. But the best feature is the filter. Just type a few letters and the list is filtered to match.
Thanks Marc!
