Hi,
i'm using the macro scheduler for the first time, i'm finding it pretty useful, but i can't find a command that switches between chrome tabs.
Basically, i used image recognition to clic on a sequence of icons on the tab i'm working, but sometimes the macro will misclick and click a link, which opens up in a different chrome tab in the same window, stopping the script.
I tried "setfocus" but the menu only shows the active tab for that window, which of course it's the opposite of what i need.
I also tried image recognition on the tab header, but it won't work, i don't know why.
So i either need a command that returns to a specific tab, or a command that closes a tab in the case one opens accidentaly.
thanks.

Re: moving between chrome tabs
If you want to use mouse clicks and keyboard, and you have Chrome focused, you can use they keyboard shortcuts to go to the next/previous tabs.
Code: Select all
setfocus>Google Chrome*
press ctrl
press page down
release ctrl
Code: Select all
setfocus>Google Chrome*
press ctrl
press page up

Re: moving between chrome tabs
Can't you monitor the window title and if the title text change use the CTRL+W to close the active tab.
