Vomnibar.activateTabSelection: Add filter current group and by group name options
The Vomnibar tabs selection mode is very handy is when working in fullscreen mode.
I think it could be even better if there was an option to only list tabs from the current active tabs group.
I looked in front/vomnibar.ts and I didn't find anything relevant.
Another suggestion, which I'm not even sure if it's possible to implement, is to filter tabs by group name.
The user will set a couple of group names in the mapping like this:
# tabs from current window
map t Vomnibar.activateTabSelection currentWindow
# tabs from current group
map Tg Vomnibar.activateTabSelection group
# tabs from "Reading" group
map Tr Vomnibar.activateTabSelection group="Reading"
# tabs from "Social" group
map Ts Vomnibar.activateTabSelection group="Social"
...
Up to now there's no filter in Vomnibar to only show tabs in a same group.
Detailed logic about tab matching is in https://github.com/gdh1995/vimium-c/blob/8a2c08f3b1be24b0f41d497d126701f48c9d802d/background/completion.ts#L464 .
Browsers like Chrome and Firefox doesn't allow extensions to access group names, unless an extension is upgraded into "Manifest V3". So, because Vimium C is still in Manifest V2, the new feature is impossible to implement.
There has been a plan to upgrade Vimium C to Manifest V3 in up to 1 year. But I have no enough rest time to perfectly do such big changes.
As for the 1st point, I'll add a feature, so that when a query contains a word of :group, and a current tab has been in a group, Vimium C will only show tabs in a same group (In Manifest V2 extensions are allowed to access group IDs).
Considering that this is in the manifest-v3, I updated the title here to also mention the group name.
Hello, v1.99.0 supports the :group filter, and it has been available on Chrome and Firefox, while the version for MS Edge is waiting for reviews.
The Edge extension was updated today, and after a quick trial and error, the only way I found to map the :group filter is using the url option like the following.
map Tg Vomnibar.activateTabSelection url=":group"
Um yes :group needs to be a part of query words. Sorry I forgot to mention it.
The "tab" completion engine uses ": + xxx" in query as special filters, including :audio (aka :audible), :muted, :unmuted, :incognito, :normal, :pinned, and :group.
