Is it possible for a Chrome Extension to screen grab from an incognito window? - google-chrome-extension

I'm trying to build a screen recorder as a Chrome Extension. The idea is that the recorder can log all mouse and keyboard events, and also store a stream of images from the browser client window. I want to do all of the recording from an incognito window. So far, I'm not managing. Is this even possible?

Yes, it's possible. User just has to allow incognito mode.
Here are the steps below to get this done:
1. In chrome://extension find your extension press details
2. Then Find the section that says allow in incognito.
Just turn it on, this will work.

Is there a way to hide a Chrome browser tab via an extension?

We have a software which uses a browser tab to hold the connection between client and server.
Users accidentally close the tab and have connection issues.
I want to program a Chrome extension which scans all new tabs. When this special tab is identified, I want to move this to a new window and hide this window, so that the user can't close the tab by mistake.
Is this possible with a Chrome extension?
Thanks.

What is the keyboard shortcut to capture screenshots using Capture for Jira?

https://confluence.atlassian.com/display/CAPTURE/Taking+screenshots says
"Keyboard shortcut
Capture for JIRA allows you to configure a keyboard shortcut to take a screenshot at any time. This allows you to capture bugs that might only occur during mouse interaction.
The configuration can be set in the server settings overlay in the browser extension's sidebar."
I cannot figure this out.
It's a setting in the browser extension, not in the JIRA add-on.
In your JIRA, in the "Capture" menu at the top, there's a link to install the browser extension. Make sure you've installed the extension first.
Then, when you open the extension, you can click the settings icon at the bottom. That will display the settings panel where you can configure your shortcut keys:

Kiosk Mode - Browser Full Screen - Restrict everything else except the opened window

I am working on asp.net application which is used in one specific machine. On launching this website, the website will be opened in full screen. Now, I should restrict user to use only this window. I should not allow user to open any window, app, anything else by keyboard, mouse.
Please help me in designing this.
Thanks,
Fayaz
Some trial and error helped me. Posting here so that would be helpful for who are looking for same...
Quoting from http://www.pcmag.com/article2/0,2817,1858713,00.asp
You can lock down these subversive key combinations using restrictions in the Registry. Launch RegEdit from the Start menu's Run dialog; navigate to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\
Policies\Microsoft Internet Explorer\Restrictions; and find or create each of the following DWORD values, setting its data to 1 to enable the restriction:
NoBrowserClose (disables closing the browser window)
NoBrowserContextMenu (disables right-click context menu)
NoFileOpen (disables use of Ctrl-O or Ctrl-L to launch an arbitrary URL)
NoOpenInNewWnd (disables opening a link in a new window via Ctrl-N or Shift-click)
And below url helps in blocking other functionality

Chrome WebRTC Screen Sharing: On stopping screen share, browser window doesn't become active/focused automatically

This is regarding Screen Share on Chrome browser using WebRTC.
An example implementaion of Screen Share on Chrome using WebRTC is: https://talky.io
When the user choses to share a different application(say a text editor), that app's window becomes active(focused) and comes on top of browser, and this is as expected...
The Problem
But after sharing this application, when user clicks on the "Stop sharing" button(present on the floating widget provided by Chrome), the previously shared application window remains on top(focussed). Ideally on stopping screen share, the browser window should be brought back on top, as in focussed.
Is there a way to achieve this using Javascript focus method? Or is this something that Chrome should take care of.

Does chrome extension have listener for chrome toolbar like back/forward/refresh button and address bar?

I want to determine whether user used browser toolbar in chrome extension.
The closest there is is the webNavigation API.
With it you can discern forward-or-back events, and reload events.
However, it won't tell you that it was specifically the toolbar that was used and not, say, a hotkey or a mouse key.
