Feature Request: Leave window open all the time

[ericfrancis]

I often don't use my browser full screen. I would not mind having the peek a tab menu open at all times.

Hi @ericfrancis this feature may take time to properly implement. But you can use Tabman Tabs Manager till then. It has this functionality.
Thanks :)

I also would like this feature.

@ericfrancis @fcherman , meanwhile you can always proceed as follows:

• clone the repo
• change the closeOnFocusChange to false in the DOMContentLoaded event listener:
  

  peek-a-tab/app.js

  Lines 7 to 11 in 5d168e7

  	document.addEventListener("DOMContentLoaded", function() {
  	var activeWindowId = window.location.search.substr(1);
  	var peekATabWindowId = null;
  	var closeOnFocusChange = true;

• Load the extension "unpacked" from the repo root folder
  
  • click on "Load unpacked",
  • in the dialog pop-up, select the "peek-a-tab" extension root folder.

My initial comment here.

Great extension @pramjeet , thanks again!

Side note on problem with Chrome updates

When Chrome updates, this can cause the extension to crash and stop working permanently. I didn't submit a dedicated issue because this can be related to the procedure described above.

Fix

Remove the extension and reload it unpacked as explained in my previous comment.
