Cmd + E opens up "google Search" in Adressbar

[kts-homeassistant]

I did't not know how to open up the sidebar. When pressen "Cmd + E" " Ctrl + E" the cursor focuses on adressbar (google search).

I also get these results. And since it was pulled almost two months ago, I bet it won't be fixed any time soon. So disappointing.

@lxieyang - need to fix that wrong instruction here... https://github.com/lxieyang/vertical-tabs-chrome-extension

Since Vertical Tabs works for most users, I am really trying to determine why it does not work in this case. But we cannot solve the problem until we know if this is a bug in the browser or the extension - or something else. Can you tell me what happens when you press the toolbar button here:

This extension is still in the Chrome store, so I do not know what that means. But I am concerned that you might have got a different version installed, since there are three extensions in the store with the same name:

https://chrome.google.com/webstore/search/verticaltabs

If the extension ID shown below does not match the one in your browser at chrome://extensions/, then you have a different extension installed. chrome://extensions/?id=pddljdmihkpdfpkgmbhdomeeifpklgnm https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/vertical-tabs/pddljdmihkpdfpkgmbhdomeeifpklgnm

Can you please be more specific about "it was pulled" -?

In Write mode, you can enlarge the text entry box by dragging the corner, just like a window on the desktop. (What would we do without JavaScript, eh?)

Then switch to Preview to see how your comments will appear when posted.

You can edit a previous post to correct any mistakes. You can select text and then press the quote button on the Write toolbar to highlight a sentence you wish to call out. Feel free to test this on your previous post, if you like.

Is it hidden under the active extensions menu? --If yes, then click the pin to anchor it to the browsers tool bar. https://askcaty.com/how-to-pin-un-pin-extensions-from-the-google-chrome-toolbar

And please let me know if this resolves the issue.

• [ ] How many of the participants here might be a new user of Chrome who switched from another browser that works differently in this regard? If so, what did you use previously?

If the issue remains open, then it has not been abandoned or rejected. We just do not have enough time to work on all of the projects which require our attention. Other people are welcome to fix these bugs and submit a patch. But currently there are no outstanding patches waiting to be merged that address open issues.

when an issue is assigned to someone or is "pulled" to be worked on...

Oh, that. Yes, a "pull request" usually means that someone has made a copy of the code, added some improvements, and now wants the changes to be merged with the original. But in this particular situation, the dependabot is just notifying about updates to common, shared libraries which are not application-specific. Those pull requests will not resolve any open issues. (In some cases, it could even break stuff.)

I am sure the lead developer is busy with other projects, and this is why I am trying to handle some of the bug characterization tasks. This will allow him more time to address those issues which add new features. ☺️ Just imagine how much more slowly development would progress if we did not have a shared workspace and a version control system!

Thanks so much @kekukui ! I'm indeed busy with other projects at the moment, but will definitely get back on this one in mid-April!

When Chrome implemented the Extension Toolbar Menu in version 76, the extension toolbar buttons became hidden by default. And now I think we have some indication that this change is confusing new users of Chrome who migrated from some other browsing platform. (Much like the concealment of page titles, this behavior obstructs the user's workflow.) This is my hypothesis, anyway:

A lot of people are migrating to Chrome from something else. I suspect it is probably users of the new Microsoft Edge who noticed the performance improvement of a Chromium-based browser but they switched to Chrome because Edge is unstable and has too many rendering bugs. These new Chrome users do not see the Vertical Tabs toolbar button, so they try the keyboard shortcut (which does not work). This creates a false perception that the extension froze, crashed, or did not launch. In reality, it is probably just hiding. The underlying problem is that Chrome likes to hide things too often or too quickly, which makes the interface less intuitive.

When a new extension is installed, Chrome should highlight the new toolbar button - and this deficiency is generating extra bug reports for extension developers. The Mac OS help menu demonstrates a better way to highlight controls, which eliminates confusion. This is the sort of thing which Chrome needs to do when a new extension is installed: the extension menu should open and the precise location of the control should be highlighted. You would then click the indicator to dismiss it, and this would be the normal installation procedure.

If some information can be represented more efficiently with graphics & animation, then it should be done that way. If we cannot convince the Chromium team to address this usability issue, I guess you could present some kind of slide show to the user the first time the extension is launched, which indicates the precise location of the toolbar button.

For all who have a problem with the Ctrl + E command not working on PC, you can change the shortcut in Chrome. Go to chrome://extensions/shortcuts in your browser; there you can change shortcuts for all your extensions!
