Copy/open list of URLs

Open 0xdevalias opened this issue 7 years ago • 1 comments

Sometimes it's useful to be able to copy a list of URLs in the current window (for using elsewhere), or open a list of URLs as tabs.

Currently I use a few extensions for this, with varying differing features, including:

  • OpenList: Chrome Store
    • https://github.com/cdzombak/OpenList
      • Chrome extension to open a list of URLs or search terms in new tabs

    • https://github.com/gordonjhaag/OpenListV3
      • Chrome extension to open a list of URLs or search terms in new tabs on Manifest V3

      • This is a Manifest V3 fork of the original, after the original was removed from the Chrome store + repo archived
  • Tab Copy: Chrome Store

As per my ponderings in #6 (RE: implement new features vs tighter integration with other extensions), this is left open as a future potential pondering.

OpenList has a very minimal UI:

Sometimes this was good, sometimes I wish it could have done a few more things. Off the top of my head:

  • Only show urls for selected tabs, tabs to left/right, etc
  • Copy URLs: normal, as markdown list, as markdown list with titles, etc
  • Ability to copy list of URLs pre-formatted as a markdown list/similar
    • Both as a 'raw' list of URLs, as well as a list of URLs + their tab titles
      • URL1
        URL2
        URL3
        
      • - URL1
        - URL2
        - URL3
        
      • - URL1
          - > URL1's Title
        - URL2
          - > URL2's Title
        - URL3
          - > URL3's Title
        
      • etc
  • Ability to show which URLs were in tab groups/etc (and maybe copy them in that format as well?)
    • Relies on: https://github.com/0xdevalias/chrome-NewWindowWithTabsToRight/issues/10
    • # Tab Group Title
      
      - URL1
      - URL2
      - URL3
      
    • - Tab Group Title
        - URL1
        - URL2
        - URL3
      
    • - Tab Group Title
        - URL1
          - > URL1's Title
        - URL2
          - > URL2's Title
        - URL3
          - > URL3's Title
      
    • etc
