tab-split-merger's Issues

warn if to many tabs are opened

If the expansion would crash Firefox or is massive in size, warn the user and ask for confirmation.

Fix CI pipeline

CI pipeline is deploying the extension to the add-on store, but it is failing when doing so.

Split into separate classes

All code is currently placed in windowManager class.

• create separate class for configuration
  • add configuration option whether tabs will be repined after splitting / merging -> highly depends on clean class structure. Because of this it is moved to this issue.
• create separate class for menu items

Various stuff

• edit confirmation threshold text
  - [ ] sort os window preview order (maybe some 20ms delay when splitting) -> unable to perform from within Firefox extension...

limit tab expansion to current window

Only move tabs from the current window, to new windows, till there is only one left.
Or allow to select the windows to expand.

Add option for granting host permission

By using optional_permissions firefox allows to ask for permissions after loading the extension. This can be used to ask for <all_urls> aka host permission.

Host permission allows the user to split and merge by selecting the proper menu option while the tab is not currently active or a about:... page is opened...

Sort All tabs into Windows depeding on url

For example:

[Window] example
[tab] github.com/...
[tab] github.com/...
[tab] wikipedia.org

Gets processed to:

[Window] github.com
[tab] github.com/...
[tab] github.com/...

[Window] wikipedia.org
[tab] wikipedia.org

Maybe optional that tabs with no others of this domain get collected in one window also.
To Limit the number of Windows created.

Write documentation

Make a full suite for converting between multiple windows and tabs

[ ] convert existing code in typescript -> Task is cancelled because it's too complex to make typescript compile background scripts for firefox.

• add (original) functionality for merging all or select windows into one
  [ ] add configuration option whether tabs will be repined after splitting / merging -> moved to issue#7

Add flexibility to context menu

Firefox Add-on Review

- [ ] Add option to hide context menu
- [ ] make extension accessible from taskbar

=> can't be implemented due to Firefox API restrictions

Additions

• Separate Docs from README.md
• Add 'Contributing' section to README.md

Split windows to left/right depending on selected window

Firefox Add-on Review

However, it would be much more useful if it allowed you to split tabs in a window with too many tabs -- that is, put all tabs to the left of the selected one in one window, and all tabs to the right in the other. This helps organize windows with lots of tabs, which is hard to do one at a time.
