Context Menu Option to Go to "Parent Tab"

[nomadic]

Added a link to an extension version in the original post. Another benefit of the extension version is a keyboard shortcut.

I just created a basic icon, so feel free to make a pull request if you can come up with a better one.

Thanks!

@nomadic When you use & you can access the command with the keyboard. So I make a script to simulate context menu and click the letter "g". Then I assign a mnemonic shortcut to the script like "gp" or "gg" (easier and faster). Thank again for the extension.

I use the method "all links open in new tab", so your extension is more helpful to me than the Rewind button.

@nomadic It seems there is a bug in the extension. I have the script and the extension installed:

@barbudo2005 Did you update the script code when I made the edit? I probably should have made a post saying I updated the script as well.

There was an issue with the original code in regard to tabs in reopened sessions. Their saved URLs were undefined, so if you click that Go to parent tab from the script, it brings you to a new tab with the default Chrome new tab page.

I fixed that when I made the extension by disabling the context menu option for tabs from reopened sessions, so I added the change to the script as well. Just changed a few if statements.

Can you confirm that clicking the script version's Go to parent tab doesn't actually bring you to a useful page?

@nomadic :

I update the script.

I open Vivaldi browser, next open Vivaldi forum. I click in a thread. In this thread the context menu display both disabled. Not OK

But the context menu of the extension display:

If you click "&Go to parent tab" it goes to the parent tab : Vivaldi forum. OK

If you come back to the thread the context menu display :

And both the script and the extension go to the parent tab.

@barbudo2005 Ok, I updated the extension and the script. Can you try using them now?

[barbudo2005]

@nomadic : Now both performs well. Thank you.

This mod has been an excellent substitute for my "Preserve tab history when a link is opened in new tab" feature request as well. It works great, and the multiple tabs bug-fix has been useful in two of my other mods as well. The only change I made was changing contexts: ["all"], to contexts: ["page"], as I don't think it needs to clutter text selection menu or other context menus, just the page menu is sufficient. Other than that, it's been excellent in every way.
