Focus browser about sublime-jsrun

[wpowers]

Some thoughts on possible enhancement. Would these be desirable or not:

1. Focus window
2. Open web inspector if closed
3. Open console if closed
4. Show evaluation input in console in the same way that highlighting code in the sources pane of web inspector, right clicking and selecting Evaluate in Console, does.

An option for this might be the best thing to do IMO.
I personally don't need it because I like switching manually, I don't want the tools to take over my actions too much. Maybe I want to run 5 different commands first before switching to the browser… or something.

I think opening the console when needed could be something that might be in the extension by default.

Thanks for your input :)

I'm thinking focus_browser and open_console options. Sounds good?

However, I can't promise anything on the opening of console. I don't have a lot of AppleScript fu.

SGTM.

[wpowers]

Yep, I can live with that :)

My vote would also be for the option. On opening the console, we do support this via a flag but there are situations where it isn't reliable. Can dig up more info if needed.

@addyosmani The problem is that the user most likely already have the browser open. I'm pretty sure flags only work when starting Chrome. Correct me if I'm wrong.

I was thinking of just executing Option+Command+J using AppleScript. The biggest hurdle is detection if the Dev Tools is already open.

Suggestions on anything more than welcome :)

A couple of links that might be helpful, but not sure how you'd get this info to your plugin:

Closing as I don't care anymore.

https://github.com/lsegal/atom-runner looks like a much better plugin ;)
