Close tab if Request Control leaves a tab empty?

Open benkuhn opened this issue 3 years ago • 0 comments

Hey, thanks for making Request Control! It saves me a lot of schlepping URLs to/from the various apps I use for work :)

I have a (hopefully) small feature request that would help me when using Request Control to e.g. rewrite Zoom links to zoommtg:// to avoid the "post-attendee URL" tab explosion.

Expected behavior

If a URL is opened in a new tab, and Request Control rewrites a URL so that it's opened by an app, the tab should close.

Actual behavior

The tab stays around as an empty tab.

Steps to reproduce the problem

  • Import this rule which rewrites Zoom meeting URLs to zoommtg:// links.
  • Create a Google Calendar event with a Zoom meeting.
  • Click on the Zoom meeting link.

This will end up opening a tab with the Zoom url, which immediately gets rewritten and opened with the Zoom desktop app; but the empty tab stays around.
