Chrome Control
==============
## 🔗 This workflow is converted from [alfred-workflow](https://github.com/bit2pixel/chrome-control).
* Note that there might be some code change or different actions from the original workflow.
* Marked original workflow's creator to author.
A JXA script and an Alfred Workflow for controlling Google Chrome
(Javascript for Automation).
This repository is forked from [chrome-control](https://github.com/bit2pixel/chrome-control)
Usage
-----
Make this file an executable
```sh
chmod +x ./chrome.js
```
Then run:
```sh
./chrome.js
```
> MacOS will ask you to allow permissions for this tool to control Chrome.
> Feel free to inspect the code before accepting.
Integration
-----------
You can use `chrome-control` to create fun integrations with your favorite tools (Alfred, vim, vscode, iterm2, ...).
### Chrome Control commands
Chrome Control commands:
- `tabs`: Lists all tabs
- `close url `: Close tabs with URLs matching these keywords
- `close title `: Close tabs with titles matching these keywords
- `dedup`: Close duplicate tabs
Commands
--------
### Close duplicate tabs
```sh
./chrome.js dedup
```
### Close all tabs by `titles` containing strings
> Strings are separated by spaces and `case insensitive`.
```sh
./chrome.js close --title "inbox" "iphone - apple"
```
```sh
./chrome.js close --title inbox iphone
```
### Close all tabs by `URLs` containing strings
> Strings are separated by spaces and `case insensitive`.
```sh
./chrome.js close --url "mail.google" "apple"
```
```sh
./chrome.js close --url google apple
```
### List all open tabs in all Chrome windows
```sh
./chrome.js list
```
The output is `JSON`, so you can pipe it to `jq`.
```sh
./chrome.js list | jq .
```
Returns a struct like this:
```json
{
"items": [
{
"title": "Inbox (1) - @gmail.com - Gmail",
"url": "https://mail.google.com/mail/u/0/#inbox",
"winIdx": 0,
"tabIdx": 0,
"arg": "0,0",
"subtitle": "https://mail.google.com/mail/u/0/#inbox"
},
{
"title": "iPhone - Apple",
"url": "https://www.apple.com/iphone/",
"winIdx": 0,
"tabIdx": 1,
"arg": "0,1",
"subtitle": "https://www.apple.com/iphone/"
}
]
}
```
> `arg` and `subtitle` are used for [Alfred](https://www.alfredapp.com/) integration.
### Close a specific tab in a specific window
> `Window Index` and `Tab Index` is the `arg` returned by the `list` command.
```js
./chrome.js close 0,13
```
### Focus on a specific tab in a specific window
```js
./chrome.js focus 0,13
```
### Show help
```sh
./chrome.js
```
### Don't prompt the user
`--yes` flag will cause no questions to be asked to the user. It'll close all tabs straight away.
> Attention: Use this with caution. Make sure you don't have any unsaved work, emails, ... etc.
### Prompt user in Chrome
`--ui` flag will cause the questions to be asked using a Chrome dialog instead of text in command line.
```sh
./chrome.js close --url apple --ui
```
