    Configure the repos

    This is the real options page of the extension. Add, change or move a repo, and select Save. The suggestions in the URL bar then use the new list. The first repo is the default.

    chrome.storage.sync

    
            
    Save writes this value. Open again shows it, and removes each change that you did not save.

      The keyword
      
            
      manifest.json sets the omnibox keyword pull. After Tab, Chrome sends the text of the bar to the extension.

      Each key
      
            
      onInputChanged reads the repos. The first repo goes in the default row. Each other repo gets a row with the content number|index.

      Enter
      
            
      onInputEntered reads the number and the repo index. It adds the number to the repo URL, and it calls chrome.tabs.

      The options
      
            
      The options page writes the list to chrome.storage.sync. An empty list gives the default repo of src/types.ts.

    The stand-in
    
            
      
              
    • This page draws the URL bar and the tabs. It sets its own chrome object before it loads the scripts.
      • 
              
    • That object fires the omnibox events, keeps the storage in memory and records the tab calls.
      • 
              
    • It has no storage quota and no sync between devices. Chrome also shows fewer rows when the list is long.
