This let me recover data from an unresponsive Chrome window! I was saving a piano improvisation — work that I surely couldn't reproduce — when the modal save dialog froze up the window due to some Chrome bug. I could tell that the tab was still alive because it would respond to resizing the window, but I couldn't interact with the window beyond moving/resizing it — no clicks or keyboard input would do anything, including shortcuts. I tried xdotool (a desktop automation tool), I tried puppeteer (a browser automation tool), nothing worked. Eventually I realized I could open a new window from the command line. I tried using chrome://inspect#pages, but when clicking inspect, it opened the devtools docked to the window that I couldn't interact with! Luckily I remembered this extension, installed it, and blam! Not only did I recover my data, but I recovered my tabs completely.
What happened to the companion extension-- "tab scissors"?
Uninstalling. The only link the developer provides is in the description of the extension. And that link doesn't work. Don't find this one helpful.
Nice companion to tab scissors, glues open windows together by default, but the options page have the wrong item selected(tab scissors) by default. Update: the tab scissors extension is gone...
Recently it changes my window size to twice as wide as my screen, so I have to push the Chrome window way to the left and resize it. I've been loving this for years! It broke when I started using two large monitors.
Just what I needed. Tab scissors can separate tabs so I can compare info and copy it - very useful, for example, doing ancestry research. When I'm done, tab glue reconnects the tabs in my browser.
works perfectly
great tool for enriched biology class!
ITś good
Fabulous tool ! Thank you.
Soooooo would have been nice to know this is not the opposite of Tab Scissors. You don't select two windows to combine into one... no, it just combines alll your windows into one. *sigh* lesson learned. Not sure this is a helpful extension, but combining just two windows is probably impossible for an extension to do. :\
The companion "Tab Scissors" extension works just the way I want it to, and performing the reverse task seems like it should be even simpler. But AFAICT Tab Glue makes no attempt to respect pinned tabs. Not only does it not order the combined tabs in the logical way (window 1 pinned, window 2 pinned, ..., window 1 unpinned, .....), it actually unpinned all my tabs the first time I ran it. This severely limits the usefulness to me - I typically use a single Chrome window with multiple pinned tabs, from which I occasionally want to split off then later recombine other windows. Otherwise it seems functional with a clean and simple design, so once this defect is fixed I'm sure I'll make use of it.
Cool
Great! The keyboard shortcuts are working fine.
simple and effective. I would really like a keyboard shortcut for this. That would make using it even faster and more convenient. And it wouldnt clutter up chrome. it would also be nice if the window would be propperly maximized (if the window was maximized before gluing). Now it just makes it about as big as maximized, but its not really maximized (on Windows)
