tabattack's Introduction

TabAttack Browser Extension

Save browser memory by exporting your tabs as Markdown. The extension allows you to edit the document in a text editor before you save it.

Later, you can import these Markdown documents and restore all windows exactly like they were before.

Installation

Get the extension from the Chrome Web Store.

Features

The extension adds a tab counter to the toolbar:

When you click it, you will see an overview of all tabs (organized by window) that you have open:

You can now edit the document as you wish. After that you can:

Download the current state of the editor as a *.md file
Close all tabs (except the current one)
Open a file that you saved earlier (drag and drop on top of the editor also works)
Re-open all links as individial tabs that are currently in the editor. This will restore each unordered list in its own window. This whole acion only works if all links are inside of an unordered list, though.

There are keyboard shortcuts for these actions:

Action	OS X	Windows
Download	⌘S	Ctrl+S
Close all tabs	⌘Q	Ctrl+Q
Open a file	⌘O	Ctrl+O
Open all links	⇧⌘O	Ctrl+Shift+O
Copy the whole document	⌘C	Ctrl+C

Furthermore, there are many keyboard shortcuts for text editing inside the Ace editor.

Tab management keyboard shortcuts

This extension also adds a few useful, general tab management keyboard shortcuts. Most of them have to be set manually by going to “Keyboard shortcuts” at the bottom of chrome://extensions/.

Building

tabattack's Issues

Test on ChromeOS

I haven't tested this extension on ChromeOS yet, because I don't have a Chromebook, but it would be awesome to know if there is any way to improve this extension for Chromebook users.

Menu Icon not optimized to retina display

[enhancement] allow users to customize download file name

Allow users to customize the file name template (offering some common as %variables, like time, date, number of windows/tabs, ...)

If no-one else claims it I will work on this in the future

How to trigger option to only export the current window

As the title says, I think it would be useful to be able to optionally export only the tabs in the current window. The code for this is easy enough, but I'm searching for a way to activate it. Sadly it seems chrome extensions can't neither add entries to the right-click menu of their icon nor react to key-click combinations on it (I was thinking CTRL-iconClick to trigger it).

Options I see:

key kombination only
add a popup menu (which means all actions take 2 clicks...)
add it to the menu in the overview (additional button that says "just this window" or something like it)

Comments? Further ideas? Preferences?

Export as pretty JSON.

Would be pretty amazing to have an option to export them as a pretty JSON array.

i.e.

[
  {
    "title" : "GitHub",
    "url" : "https://github.com/"
  }
]

Doesn't stack well with great suspender

I have Great Suspender plugin installed, which automatically puts inactive tabs to sleep. Unfortunately it seems like sleeping tabs are ignored. Is it possible to include them? The TabAttack counter on the icon does see them, but the markdown does not. Without being able to see all tabs at once, it's hard for me to curate the list to the tabs I care about when exporting them.

It would be great to see a parsed version side by side with the markdown source.

Render retina (2x) version of the icon

I don't have a Retina MacBook or any other machine with high-dpi screen to test this. But if anyone wants to pick this up, pull requests are welcome.

Ideally this wouldn't incur rendering the retina version for users who will never see it and vice-versa. Unfortunately it looks like chrome.browserAction.setIcon only accepts both sizes (19 square and 38 square) at the same time for everybody.

3-digit tab number display broken

Looks now like this:

I'm investigating it, something with the fonts seems to go wrong...

Attacked tabs are lost after a browser crash.

I'm not sure but maybe some strategy using localstorage could help. You should be able to persist the content inside each TabAttack environment onload and onchange so it's possible to somehow recover the content from a browser crash.

Feature: "Open links" could open only selected/highlighted links

That way a user can open only desired links in the browser, particularly when working with a long TabAttack .md link list

Fix domain blacklist (in options)

Currently the domain blacklisting in the options doesn't do anything

Not work in secret mode.

Hostname pattern support for ignoring domains

Much like the way you would do to manage cookie and site data exceptions.

Manage exceptions

Match patterns

"Close all tabs" also closes pinned tabs

Should the "Close all tabs" button also close pinned tabs that weren't imported into TabAttack?

Contribution process?

Hi!

I'm thinking about modifying TabAttack for my own needs, but some of the changes might be of general interest. Do you have any preferences how you'd like to discuss and receive changes? If yes, it might be a good idea to add that to the README as well

Tool Bar Icon Barely Visible

I use TabAttack with a dark theme- Oceanic, and the tool bar icon is hardly visible on the dark background. screen:

So I would like to suggest a new option in extension options to use an alternative icon (brighter) which would be better visible on dark themes.

If this extension is not abandoned (I hope that it is not as I find TabAttack very useful) I might suggest some more enhancements.

Bundle a font to render the tab counter more consistently

It would probably be a good idea to bundle a font instead of relying on the system's sans-serif.
