Request: If Inbox tab exists in *separate window*, activate it #33

Open DocAdaptive opened 7 years ago

DocAdaptive commented 7 years ago

I have an Inbox shortcut set to behave as a web app - I'd like your extension to check if that's open, and if it is, activate it.

Good job on the extension - thanks.

I was going over the issues and was going to start working on this one but apparently, it is already dealt with. You can check the extension options to see the checkbox for this behavior

@eatskolnikov If you're still willing to jump in, go for it. The existing option only works within the same window. This could be a new option below that one, since it's an equally valid mental model to treat different windows as different "sessions" that you may not want to jump between. (Also, the code will be different for this case from what I can remember when I first looked at it.)

If not, I'll eventually make a run through these issues--including this one--in 2018 when I have a free weekend for open source.

Thanks!

Thanks for following up, yes that's it exactly. I'd like that "existing tab" behaviour to be extended to all windows. The good news is that I'm using inbox itself less and less for email management and just use your checker window. I find this more efficient because it allows me to focus on processing new mails. Thanks again.
