![]() Maybe it's the appropriately named Sidekick - no, not the early T-Mobile phone that acted as a kind of future-predicting ancestor to Android, but the Chrome-competing desktop browser that tries to reimagine the browser window as a web-based work operating system of sorts. Maybe it's Microsoft Edge, with its enticingly unusual approach to putting tabs on the side of the screen instead of at the top. And we've gained a level of trust, familiarity, and comfort that's tough to replicate.Įven so, every now and then, some alluring new thang comes along and flashes its fancy features in my direction. We're very much in the comfortable marriage phase of our relationship: Sure, the initial thrill of the courtship might be gone, but we know each other inside and out now. Standard story, I know, right? But it's true: By and large, Chrome gives me everything I want in a browser and then some. Let me offer up a little context on my near-transgressions: I've relied on Chrome for longer than I can remember at this point. I completely agree with everyone on that opinion.I'll admit it: I've found myself tempted to switch browsers more than a few times lately. Running a separate script for this (basic) functionality is wrong and overkill.Regarding Google desktop software, at the time of writing most of it is inferior outside the twenty-somthing techbro doing terminal stuff in a web browser with a Chromebook usecase from my point of view. I personally prefer Firefox over Chromium/Chrome on all my devices, but at work a certain software manufacturer is unable to publish the vital browser extension as a signed Firefox extension (and MS Edge) for the particular product. ![]() Here is the list with keyboard shortcuts from Chrome.

MouseGetPos, iMouseX, iMouseY, idHoverWindow WinGet, idSearchWindow, ID, ahk_class %psWindowClass% TabJumper(psWindowClass, piStripeYStart, piStripeYEnd) Here is another script for switching tabs with the mousewheel - this example script is for Chrome, Firefox and Internet Explorer, but also usable for any other program. Here is the solution that currently works for me: AutoHotKey Community - tab_switcher - switch tabs with mousewheel in any tabbed window So it should be possible to re-implement the sending of basic keystrokes in those languages for the specific platform. However I currently have¹ to use Chrome on Windows where I miss this functionality.Īs some have mentioned, there exist some implementations in scripting languages² like AutoHotKey, which is only for Windows and I never felt the need to run AutoHotKey, AutoIt or any similar software on Linux/OSX but as I understand it AutoKey and Automator should be equivalent pieces of software. I have no issues with Chrome/Chromium on Ubuntu, the functionality you describe just works for me.
