Macro to Display a List of Open Tabs in Google Chrome and Copy the Selection to the Clipboard

[sccardais]

I thought I once saw a KM macro here that displayed a list of open tabs in Google Chrome and allowed the user to copy the page title and URL to the clipboard by selecting it from the list.

I've searched but didn't find it.

Is it possible to do this with KM? Any guidance would be appreciated.

Have a look at this - should be easily modified to do what you want instead of pasting into Word…

Get the Number of Tabs Open in Google Chrome

@Alex_aa, glad you found my macro helpful. Here's another version with these changes: Gets ONLY the tabs of the FrontMost Chrome window Get both Page Title and URL Builds a nicely formated list, ready to paste into Word Activates Word, and prompts you to paste. Easiest way to use is position your text cursor in Word where you want the list, and trigger the macro.

Thank you to all that responded.

The Applescript below is also pretty handy in some situations. This is what it does:

• Displays a dialogue box with a list of the page titles and URLs of all open tabs (in Google Chrome).
• Allows the User to select one.
• Copies the title and URL of the tab selected to the clipboard.

NOTES

• Works in Google Chrome. Hasn't been modified to work with Safari. I haven't been able to modify to work in Firefox,
• Chrome needs to be open of course but it doesn't need to be the frontmost application to run.

SCRIPT

-- Display a list of page titles and URL's for all open tabs in Google Chrome
-- Allow user to select one from from the list.
-- Copy the page title and URL of the selection to the clipboard.

set titleString to ""
set urlList to {}

tell application "Google Chrome"
	set window_list to every window # get the windows
	
	repeat with the_window in window_list # for every window
		set tab_list to every tab in the_window # get the tabs
		
		repeat with the_tab in tab_list # for every tab
			set the_url to the URL of the_tab # grab the URL
			set the_title to the title of the_tab # grab the title
			set titleString to titleString & the_title & " - " & the_url & return # concatenate
			set end of urlList to {the_url, the_title}
		end repeat
	end repeat
end tell

set chosenItem to (choose from list paragraphs of titleString with prompt "Select a URL and page title:") as text

repeat with i from 1 to length of urlList
	set thisItem to item i of urlList
	if chosenItem contains (item 2 of thisItem) then
		set the clipboard to (item 2 of thisItem) & " - " & (item 1 of thisItem)
		exit repeat
	end if
end repeat
