Is there a key switch event for google chrome extension?

Question

Like google chrome extension, is it possible to listen to tab switchers? That is, to be notified of what just happened with the tab switch?

(I want to make an extension that in full screen mode when switching tabs with the usual keys Ctrl+PageUp and Ctrl+PageDown gives visual feedback from the switch and other currently available tabs.)

Answer 1

Maybe see onActivated at http://developer.chrome.com/extensions/tabs.html

Answer 2

In the manifest.json file, add the following:

 "permissions":[ "background", "tabs" ], "background" : { "scripts": ["scripts/background.js"], "persistent": false } 

In your background.js:

 chrome.tabs.onActivated.addListener(function(activeInfo) { console.log(activeInfo.tabId); 

});
