To check if file is opened in browser and then activate the corresponding tab

[john_c]

Is there a simple way to check whether the specified Markdown file is already opened in Chrome? (Or another browser)

* In case the target file is not currently opened in Chrome - open it in Chrome.
* In case the target file is already opened in Chrome - activate Chrome at the specified tab.

Yes, I understand that this task is probably large and/or complicated. And thus, it will not be polite to expect that someone will publish entire code. However any ideas and drafts are welcome. It is possible that there exist some AHK library or community function for it.

If the tab name is sufficient to identify the file, you could use this:

Firefox/Chrome, get tab names/focus tab - AutoHotkey Community

If you need the url to identify the file, you could download a plugin to copy titles/urls to the clipboard, and parse the clipboard text, and then use the functions above:

Firefox/Chrome: copy titles/urls to the clipboard - AutoHotkey Community

Otherwise you could use SendInput, ^{Tab}, Sleep, and WinGetTitle.
