Keyboard shortcut to toggle tree? #98

Open TempSpas opened 8 years ago

TempSpas commented 8 years ago

I downloaded this add-on when I saw that the ability to auto-hide the tab bar in a normal window. (I like the idea of organizing tabs in a tree, but it takes up a little too much horizontal area on a 13" laptop). Unfortunately, the tree is very jumpy and inconsistent when moving the mouse to the side. Would it be possible to have an option to simply hide the tree by default, and be able to access it by a keyboard shortcut? I'd find that much more useful than having to hover my mouse over the area and wait for it to be detected.

It's F8. I also added the information about this hotkey to https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/tab-tree/:

F8 — Toggle one (or two) of four auto-hiding options corresponding to a current window state (Maximized/Normal/Fullscreen/One tab):

  • When an active window is in full screen F8 toggles the option for full screen windows
  • When an active window is maximized F8 toggles the option for maximized windows
  • When an active window is normal F8 toggles the option for normal windows
  • When an active window has only one tab F8 toggles the option for all windows with one tab

My bad, I read that but didn't realize it was for toggling the tree, thought it was just the option to autohide, which is effectively hiding the tree. I've been using that this morning, and it's been working well, although sometimes I'll move to click something at the edge of the screen and the tree will pop up, which is a bit annoying.

Also, could the shortcut perhaps be made mappable? I was going to make it Cmd-Shift-E to replace Panorama mode that Firefox is removing in future versions.

It would be nice to have a keyboard shortcut that toggled the tree, instead of enabling/disabling auto-hide. I don't prefer the auto-hide feature.

My wife and I both share the same Firefox session (with different windows) -- I'd like to use Tab Tree and she isn't sold on it, so it would be nice if it could be enabled/disabled per-window, or at least more easily than disabling the extension.

@edbrannin I would very much welcome this feature as well. @traxium I can see disabling/enabling the add-on works very well, i.e., without restart. That's great! :+1: Based on that, I assume it should be quite easy to add per-window toggling between tree-style and classical-style tabs, no?

@traxium By the way, thanks a lot for your work so far on this add-on! :)
