# Tabswitcher 

Tabswitcher is a chrome extension that allow to easily jump between

opened tabs. It is intended to be used from the keyboard (while still

remaining mouse friendly). 

> OSX Spotlight but for Google Chrome

When opened the extension displays a list of opened tabs and

allow to filter them by typing some characters that matches the url of

the wanted chrome tab and jump by typing enter.

To fully enable a keyboard driven experience, you need to manually add a

global shortcut. Set it at the [bottom of Chrome's exension

page](chrome//extensions). Can't find it? [See

Find it on [Google Chrome

store](https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/tabswitcher/gkdkligmcadfbagoeggeohelmgalchcn).

## Privacy and performances

No Javascript is injected in pages themselves. Everything is done

through the extension's popup and nothing else, ie the extension is just 

running once, whether there are two tabs opened or thirty.

In clear, all it does is asking Chrome to list all opened tabs and jump

from one to another based on some characters.

## Usage 

It is required to manually assign a global shortcut to open Tabswitcher

from they keyboard instead of clicking on the extension's icon. It's a

constraint from Google Chrome, it can't be done in any other way.

The recommended combination is `alt+Space`. 

Available keybindings when the extension is opened:

- `arrow-down` or `alt-j` to move toward the next result

- `arrow-up` or `alt-k` to move toward the previous result

- `enter` to jump the highlighted result

## Bug reporting

## Contributing

[Clojurescript](https://github.com/clojure/clojurescript). 

To develop locally, two profiles are provided: 

- `chrome` that compiles and packages it for Google Chrome and is

  can be installed locally through the button _Load unpacked extension_.

  - `lein with-profile +chrome chromebuild once`

- `live` that fires a figwheel server, allowing to live edit its code

  and opening a REPL. Chrome callbacks will be disabled and will just print logs.

  - `lein with-profile +live figwheel`
