[feature request][Enhancement] save the chrome tab groups in the sessions too

[rpg-roleplay-fan]

(Also requested by Jeff State, Mar. 22, 2021 --Ed.)

I am searching for save and restore chrome tabs, so i found general the extension not bad, but since a few month i use new chrome feature with the tab groups and this is essential for me and I hope Tabfern will implent this feature.

I think this feature request can replace #115 (Group Tabs) if this user will use the google tab groups.

Sounds reasonable --- thanks for suggesting! Could you add a screenshot or something showing what doesn't work currently? Do you just want to see the Chrome tab groups in the TabFern window?

Even without support for tab groups it can be much easier to find and organise tabs within tab fern (moving a tab next to or between two tabs in a group will move it into the group). But without being able to see where the groups are slows this down.

I think what's needed is support for:

• Displaying tabs in their existing groups in the main window
  • showing the group name and colour
  • keeping up to date as groupings change via Chrome UI:
    • group tabs
    • ungroup tabs
    • tab move in/out of group
    • group moves within/between windows
• Editing the group name
• Editing the group colour
• Saving the grouping data for later restore (tabs in group, name and colour)
• Restoring tab groups with name and colour
• Dragging tabs between groups via Tab Fern
  • Grouping tabs (with name and colour)
  • Ungrouping tabs
  • Move tab in/out/between of groups I think you might get "moving into a group" for for free, since it's already possible, but it ought to be possible to move a tab to a position beside a group without it entering the group.
  • Group moves within/between windows

API Reference: https://developer.chrome.com/docs/extensions/reference/tabs/#method-group https://developer.chrome.com/docs/extensions/reference/tabs/#method-ungroup https://developer.chrome.com/docs/extensions/reference/tabs/#event-onCreated https://developer.chrome.com/docs/extensions/reference/tabs/#event-onUpdated

Relevant Issues:

• Closes get fired before TabGroup closes
• Don't emit an event on every letter entry on tab group name change for chrome.tabGroups.onUpdated
• Signature for chrome.tabGroups.onUpdated.addListener contradicts the spec
