New Ideas ?

[Mimieam]

This issue is an open thread for anyone wanting to bring up/ discuss a new idea :)

[Mimieam]

Idea: Feedback on clicks how: On a button click, display some indication ( ✅❌) in the lower coner of the button on success or failure of a command.

[Mimieam]

Idea: Horizontal Split How: split a window top and bottom

[volo1st]

Idea: Optional sorting on pinned tabs How: Add an option in the options panel so that user can choose if they want the 'pinned tabs' to be sorted or not when they click on "sort all"

[kdvlr]

Idea: Sort Google Docs How: Currently it sorts by docs.google.com . For just that prefix, maybe allow docs.google.com/spreadsheets, docs.google.com/documents, docs.google.com/presentations to be treated as separate domain

[dunesitus]

Keyboard shortcuts for every function, but I use sort most, so at least for this one.

[gitatmax]

The ability to deduplicate not just the current but any tabs, leaving only 1 of each duplicate tab open

To whom it may concern: Regarding tab sorter chrome extension:

Can the code of the extension be modified to access the various tab management functions from right-click context menu in addition to the menu bar button?

Thanks, Jon

Firefox support? Someone here is interested: https://www.reddit.com/r/firefox/comments/fajy19/is_there_an_addon_that_allows_me_to_seperate_tabs/

[Mimieam]

Thanks @yoasif, there is currently no plan for supporting Firefox, but if we get more requests for it we will consider it :)

Option to change counter color Add title hint for buttons

@Mimieam Idea: +1 on Firefox support. How: There is a cross-browser extension boilerplate repo. And an article on Mozilla's Extension Workshop. Hope it helps.

Idea: Automatic Tab Sorting How: A checkbox / toggle near Sort buttons. Sort Tabs Advanced for Firefox has this feature.

Hey @JeffRockatansky actually pure automatic sorting currently exists and can be toggled in the options - check the toggle: Force active sort. I've been working on porting TS2 to Firefox using web-ext - so far the results are mixed, and the core of TS2 might need to be rewritten to be more cross-browser, TBD.

Definitely possible

Add title hint for buttons

@fakhamatia Could I have some examples for hints? the buttons did seem clear to me but I might have overlook somethings :)

@Mimieam thanks! Didn't see it initially. Does it have options for how exactly to sort (e.g. by URL, by domain, by title, ascending, descending)? Can't check myself right now.

Happy to know that! Any ETA?

If you could actually share the source code here, we might be able to help with the port. Btw, can you look at #26?

Idea: Option to configute how GUI looks. I personally like less round and more compact buttons from older versions over more round, but dark theme in later versions looks better for me. How: as two config menu items: one selector for shapes, one for colors

It has by Url and Title - the domain/subdomain is done by defaults when selecting URL. and Currently, it only sorts ASC

No strong ETA currently because of the push to Manifest version 3, which is kind of a mess right now.

Just did :)

Option to sort within each group, and keep the first open order between groups? open in turn: a.g2.com;b.g1.com;b.g2.com,a.g1.com sort result: a.g2.com,b .g2.com|a.g1.com,b.g1.com

Add a whitelist to remove duplicate tabs For example, I'm reading two parts of an article through two tabs (same url), or editing something, i don't want to deduplicate tabs

[FarisHijazi]

add a tooltip description when hovering over each button

sometimes I don't know what some buttons do, would be nice to have a tooltip instead of reading the docs

[Mimieam]

@FarisHijazi There actually were tooltips for every button but it quickly cluttered the space and the layout/position was getting in the way... I'm still looking into how to make the buttons more intuitive ( via renaming or maybe revisiting tooltips if I can find a design that's clean.

do you mind sharing which buttons you find most confusing?

[Mimieam]

Via email: "it would be nice to have a Copy button and shortcut, that would copy all URLs of the current window to the clipboard"

Please answer https://github.com/Mimieam/TabSorter2/issues/28#issuecomment-1221364668

[Mimieam]

Please answer #28 (comment)

Done :)

[FarisHijazi]

Please add a "group tabs" option, one that uses titles to cluster the repeated words together, cuz we can't just depend on the name of the website or path.

Sometimes i have some github pages open about project X, and i have a bunch of stackoverflow pages on project X

I want all the ones with X to be in one place (automatically)

Could you display how long a tab has been opened for and how many times it was visited?

idea: Page Stats How: use content script to inject an active page with relevant info such as:

• open since: X hrs ago
• visited: X times
• total time on this page/domain? (not sure if this one is useful..)
