Hello all, I'd reached a point of exasperation with myself over the frustration of attempting to do something simple and getting sidetracked by the distraction created by a previously open tab.
Wondering if there could be a script to automatically close safari tabs after a set duration of time passes. Maybe a script that simply runs the close all tabs after a set period of time elapses after not using safari. it could be worth it for productivities sake to simply have tabs auto-close themselves.
I'm new to Keyboard Maestro, did do some searching on this forum and didn't come up with much.
So, you have multiple tabs open in Safari then we need to clarify some things about what you want:
you switch to a new tab and after a fixed amount of time you want the "close other tabs" menu choice to be triggered. (there is no "close all tabs") as far as I know.
you switch to another application. Safari is still running in the background and after a fixed amount of time you want to "close all windows" or quit safari (?)
in case you want to close tabs and not windows do you have cases when you have multiple windows with multiple tabs ?
Hi Joseki,
The second scenario you paint is more what I’m looking for.
I’m simply tired of being distracted by previously left open tabs. Yes I could discipline myself to close them but thought an automation might be a useful help.
Thanks for the reply!
