In google-chrome, is it possible to move a tab from one window to another?
If I pull one tab in a window, it becomes a separate window. Then it is not possible to merge this tab back to the original window or merge it into another window. It is very annoying that sometimes, the tab is just pulled out of the window accidentally.
->first open the tab to be merged with in.
->then open the tab to be merged (or the one you accidently open)and then drag that downwards.
It will automatically be merged into window from step one.
I hope I am making some sense.

I am trying to combine two iterm2 windows into a single window with a split pane. I can combine them into one window with two tabs but I don't know how combine those two tabs into a split pane in a single tab. How can I do this? Thanks in advance for the assistance!
Looks like as of late 2022 there's no one-click way to do this, but the following works for me:
Split the tab or window you want to work in, creating a new, empty pane 2. Right-click in the new pane and choose "Swap with session..."
The pane will turn green; navigate to the tab or window you want to pull in, which will be red, and click it; this will swap the two panes
Close the swapped pane, leaving you with just the original window with the two panes in it
Background:
I am trying to automate a desktop application using sikuli with Java.
When we click on a Browse button in the application, it will open a new window to select destination folder to download some files.
We need to click OK button once the folder is selected.
Problem:
Whenever we click on Browse button, an enlarged window is opened by default in the lab execution machine where the script is running.
Due to this, the OK button is not visible on screen.
We have to move the Browse window upwards in order to make it visible.
I tried using Region.dragDrop() method to move the window upwards.
However, it is not find the destination match which is behind the Browse window.
Please guide me in coming up with a working approach to this problem.
This is an indirect solution to your problem. Since drag/drop and other "visual" actions are usually more flaky and harder to automate, I suggest you use keyboard shortcuts as much as possible. In your case, if the blocking window is opened last, I assume it becomes the active window which means you can minimize it using Win+down combination (assuming you are in Windows).
I often have a lot of tabs open in Chrome browser(s) when developing. I always use the Chrome DevTools un-docked, in a separate window.
Lets say I have opened DevTools for a given tab, then did some search on SO in another tab...
Then if I focus the Chrome DevTools window again, how can I easily find the corresponding browser tab that belongs to this debug window?
I do have a solution, but it is not that straight forward:
in DevTools, go to tab 'Elements'
right-click any element inside the tag
select 'focus' (at the bottom of the list)
This will bring the corresponding browser to the front and will focus the corresponding tab and will focus the selected element.
This is OK but too many steps and forces to leave the current panel in DevTools (need to go to the Elements tab)
I would like a simple shortcut that just focuses the corresponding tab in the browser.
The question is opposite to this one.
Say I open link in a new tab. Currently it is opened, but not loaded. It starts loading only when I select it. I want so that I open a lot of links on a page and those tabs start loading without need to be selected.
Furthermore, there is another problem. When I open link, select that tab, tab is loaded. Then I go to another tab, do something there and return to the first tab. So this tab starts to reload again.
How to fix this?
My version of Chrome is - 48.0.2564.116. It starts to happen recently.
If you are using (in settings) "continue where you left off" then switch to "Open specific page or set of pages" try it there, then switch back
The answer is https://superuser.com/questions/1048029/disable-auto-refresh-tabs-in-chrome-desktop#answer-1049471. Shorter, the flag #automatic-tab-discarding needs to be disabled on chrome://flags.
Is it possible to take a screenshot of non-visible tab with chrome extension API?
chrome.tabs.captureVisibleTab takes only the selected tab on a specific window.
I could programmatically switch to the needed tab, take a screenshot and switch back, but since it's all async, there's a flicker while it happens.
Copy the page to a new window and move the window outside the screen then take a screenshot. Then the user will not notice that you have opened a new window because it is outside the screen.
Hope this helps you out.
