Mouse support + Previous Display

[rvrvgithub]

This "issue" is more of a feature request:

Hello Arthur i recently downloaded your TabToWindow extensions for Chrome. Its great idea but i wanted to ask you if it would be technically possible to add 2 options - if you would have time to consider those and would just give me estimate if its EVEN POSSIBLE given current chrome API... than if you would be willing to add these :D

1. mouse modifiers

• keyboard shortcuts are nice but mouse click + modifiers is even faster
• would it be technically possible to assign simple mouse clicks to the 4 main options

example:

Link To New Window = middle-mouse-click on link Link To Next Display = shift + left-mouse-click on link

its not a problem if those overwrite/replace any default Chrome mouse shortcuts

or maybe there is some workaround or combination with another extensions that would allow me to use ONLY MOUSE (+ modifiers) to execute commands from your extension's contextual menu

2. Link to PREVIOUS Display

• could we have also option to open Link To PREVIOUS Display - the reason i ask i have 3 monitors

(FULL HD) <<< FULL HD >>> (small laptop)

my main monitor is in the MIDDLE (FULL HD) and i cant swap them around because i need the small laptop always on my right side - nowdays when i choose Link to NEXT Display it always opens the link on the RIGHT (small laptop) - thats not usefull for me (laptop is only 1024x768)... as i work on MIDDLE monitor i would need links to open on LEFT side (second FULL HD)... so i guess that would be "Link to PREVIOUS Display"

• i tried to swap cables and my monitors swapped around (inverted positions) in Windows Control Panel but in Chrome it always goes to RIGHT SCREEN (small laptop)

---

in meantime i found some pretty cool workarounds to force new chrome windows to jump to my left monitor upon spawning (using the amazing DisplayFusion software) so the PRIMARY REQUEST remains the mouse support... to be able to execute "Link To New Window" with a mouse click...

i know there is SHIFT+left click in Chrome by default, but for some reason the default SHIFT+click misbehaves on our company intranet (it creates new window but also redirects the source page to the same link as the new window) - on the other hand your contextual menu "Link To New Window" works perfectly, without affecting the source page, so if i could execute "Link To New Window" via a mouse click i would be golden....

could you add mouse support to the contextual options in your extension...

THANKS

+1 for sure on all of these. But with any of the shortcuts, including the mouse shortcuts, it'd be great to be able to choose custom shortcuts.

@acarabott, above all, though, I really hope that a previous window option can be added. I work with three monitors, too, and so often, I have a tab I want to send to a specific monitor but have to send it through another monitor first, before it ends up in the monitor I want. It'd be great if, for example, holding shift while doing the move tab to next window, would reverse the direction to the previous window.

Thanks for this feedback. I'll have to look into the possibility of "previous window".

My workflow to achieve the same thing is to just press the "next window" shortcut again, it will cycle through all available windows. I also use https://www.spectacleapp.com/ for general window management.

@acarabott +1 for "prev window" command!
