Causing Glitch in Google Docs

Hi! I love tab shelf and have been using it for a while with no issues, but since I got a new computer (macbook air) I noticed the italic shortcut (command + i) on Google Docs is not working, all other shortcuts are however. I have isolated the glitch to be from this extension through turning all off and going through them one-by-one. Just wondering if this is a known issue or if there is any kind of update/fix? Thank you!

Reopen closed tab?

That would be a great feature to put in Tab Shelf, since it is quite important, and chrome's function is way off to the side. I'd rather see it closer at hand. And, my long-term hope is to completely eliminate the need for chrome's tab bar --- in fact, if there is a way to hide chrome's tab bar without closing tabs, that would be super.

Don't implement anything along these lines yet -- I want to think through my suggestions for all the various menus a bit more, but I am occupied the rest of the day.

What is sleep?

What happens when I sleep a tab? Is it what Chrome calls "inactive" in chrome://settings/performance under memory, that is, it frees up memory? If so, then is what your sleep function does is force a tab inactive right now? Or something else? This: "Sleep the tab (this will free up your computer's resources)" in the user manual suggests it's just forcing inactive.

If so, then I'm not sure it's worth the space on the context menu. That space is *extremely* valuable, since there is a limited amount of it. Sleep is not a behavior issue, it's about performance. And chrome already manages that on a global basis. Ideally users should not have to constantly attend to performance issues. You've got a "sleep all" function in the bottom bar, which is terrific, because if I am having performance problems, I can quickly see if it's at all related to tabs in general. And then I can make tabs awake/active one at a time, exactly as needed just by clicking on them, which is the perfect behavior. But being able to sleep/inactivate a particular tab is not that helpful -- unless I suspect one tab of being a particular memory, CPU or storage-access hog. (If you really want to get fancy, you could somehow monitor and display tab resource usage, and all kinds of stuff -- but that's a big job, and I'm not even sure the tools exist.)

More thought to come, especially about space on the context menu.

Thanks for your extremely fast response to suggestions! Knowing how quickly you act, however, makes me a little skittish about suggestions, because sometimes it's worthwhile to ponder a new feature idea a bit before implementing -- to see how it fits in the overall picture.

Sync or export tab shelf

Is there a way to backup, sync, or export tab shelf settings and rules please? That way I can potentially move them across machines, or across different Google accounts.

Broken Favicons

On some websites the favicon is broken. It's working fine on the native Chrome tab. Any ideas on how best to investigate this?
