Go to tab with url instead of launching it in new tab #6

Hi, great plugin really enjoying it so far and i cant wait for the history functionality.

One question on the "Open Web Pages" functionality is that i thought it would open chrome to that tab instead of opening that url in a new tab. Is there any way to do that instead as it seems like a waste to open a duplicate tab?

Lastly, it would be quicker if a single right arrow would take you directly into the open web pages instead of having to right arrow twice to get there?

Regards, Tony

Regarding the single right arrowing thing, the open web pages are already in the catalog, so if you look for "Open Web Pages (Chrome)" you can get away with a single right arrow. A hierarchy underneath Chrome is needed to separate the different types of URLs.

Regarding your first question: I don't think it's a good idea to change the behaviour of Open URL, it's a general action that should work the same everywhere for all URLs. However, I think it would be a good idea to have a "Reveal" command for the currently open URLs which would activate the window and correct tab. I'll take a look at that.

I have released a version 1.1 with a "Reveal tab in Chrome" which works the way you describe in your first question: https://github.com/ndreas/GoogleChrome-qsplugin/downloads

Try it out and see what you think.
