I want to add to my application the ability to add it to the taskbar. Is there a API such an opportunity? Sorry for my english.
To my knowledge there is no API for this. When it's launched, it will appear on the taskbar, and then the user can right-click on the icon and pin it.
(I assume by "taskbar" you mean shortcuts/favorites icons on the taskbar)
Different OS's have different ways to do this.
On Linux, chrome apps are put in the start menu under a "Chrome Apps" group. From there, right-click to create shortcuts, add to panel, or favorites.
There doesn't appear to be an api to do this automatically: https://developer.chrome.com/apps/api_index
You're best bet may be to show the user how to access the app:
"Apps" on bookmark bar in Chrome
"Chrome Apps" in start menu

Each Time I'm using this console I'm struggeling with my mouse to click on the editable line.
So two question :
Is there a way of enlarging this line so it easier to click on it ?
Is there a command to navigate to it ?
The only way to enlarge it is to create a custom theme for DevTools, enable the experiment for using custom themes, and then installing your extension. That way you can get custom CSS into the top-level DevTools scope to modify things.
You may open a bug report on the chromium issue tracker against the DevTools so the team can assess the UX to see if there is anything they should modify internally.
I have a web application (directory slides) program which is preferable to run in fullscreen on google chrome. Now the problem is i would like to limit the user access to the browsers functionality so when the browser is in fullscreen i would like to lock it.
Is there any way to do these?
This is generally referred to as "Kiosk mode," and Chrome does appear to support it. From https://lifehacker.com/use-chromes-kiosk-mode-to-limit-someones-access-to-yo-1243433249:
Open up Chrome's settings.
Under "Users" click "Add new user."
Give the new profile a name and picture. Make sure "Create a desktop shortcut for this user" is checked. Click "Create."
Right-click the newly-created shortcut and select "Properties."
In the "Target" field, add "--kiosk" (no quotes) to the end.
Click "Apply."
Some Chrome extensions have bookmark icons that are automatically added to the bookmarks bar, but, so far as I can tell apps such as Postman can't be added directly to the shortcut bar.
If I want to launch an "app" (i.e. not one of the extensions which already show up in the toolbar) such as this, I have to open the "Apps" shortcut window, and then find the app (or launch it separately from the app launcher).
I would very much like to have a bookmark to a specific App in the bookmark bar. Is this possible?
It's not possible.
The closest implementable thing is an extension with a toolbar icon that launches specifically the app.
Or toolbar popup launchers like Apps Launcher or AppJump App Launcher and Organizer.
Not the direct answer to the question, but this question is about quickly launching signal.
Two other solutions include:
https://github.com/WhisperSystems/Signal-Desktop/pull/1262
Add a shortcut to your Launcher or Desktop
Have Signal Desktop already open
Right our Double click on your app icon
On Mac: Choose Options > Choose Keep in Dock
On Windows: Select More > Pin to taskbar
The shortcut Alt + S, however this is being Depreciated:
I want to remove the developer app from my Facebook account and return to a simple profile. I think its like developer profile currently. and when I click on setting button on the top right corner of the page there are "create and app" and "Manage apps" links which is not available for simple normal accounts.
I also can not rearrange and add my groups to favorites which I think is because of the developer app.
Is there anyone who knows how to remove the developer app?
I searched a lot and there is no remove application option anywhere on developer.facebook.com !!!
please help me.
Go to
https://developers.facebook.com/apps/
Select the app you want to delete, then click edit app then
click on delete app (last option on left pane)
you are done.
I have a few extensions (with their icons up on the right). I'd like to assign a shortcut for activating each one of them, i.e. a shortcut that simulates clicking the mouse on them.
One extension e.g. is a dictionary and it would be more than useful to be able to open it without tinkering with the mouse.
There's a way to do this in chrome://extensions if you go to the bottom of the page and find "Configure commands" link.
I also am wondering about how to do this, and here is the possible solution suggested by Misha Kupriyanov:

You can take the Quick Disable Chrome extension by +Paul Kinlan (you can find the source on github)
It uses the chrome.management API http://code.google.com/chrome/extensions/management.html
and now you can write your own pageAction extension ;) = include on each page your JavaScript for catching keyboard events and triggering enable/disable events via chrome.management API
Also check out the Vimium (also open source) by Ilya Sukhar (i am not sure its his account)
Try Autohot, it's a free tool that makes it easy to automate that kind of things, easiest would be:
wait for your "keyboard shortcut" to be fired
check that google chrome is the active window
click on the fixed mouse coordinate to activate the extension
