Is there a way to focus on the omnibox, either using the ExecuteScript or the Omnibox API? I don't think its possible but can anyone think of a work around?
Sorry, currently not possible.

I know that panels are being taken out of the chrome extensions, and that it is no longer possible to use them as floating "always on top" windows. I want to achieve something similar to Evernote's Web Clipper chrome extension. I think they are using panels right now. Could someone please suggest an alternative that I can use to achieve something similar?
I am developing a little extensions called "Tab Bundler", which in short saves all the open tabs in a window into a bundle that can be opened with the click of a button. When a bundle is opened however, no history of how the user got to that url is saved, ie. the user can't click back to see how they got to that url. This is functionality I want to implement. I looked for a while, googling, looking thoroughly through the google chrome extension documentation: http://code.google.com/chrome/extensions/history.html. But I couldn't figure out how to get this information without tracking it myself. Is that the only option I have? Any thoughts would be really appreciated.
Thanks!
Look, many people tried this before. You are not alone in this quest!
At the moment the answer in Google Code was: anybody asked for it when they where developing the History API. Then there's no elegant way to access tabs' history.
Of course, you can hook chrome.tabs.onUpdated to record every page and make your own tab's history...
You could probably hook chrome.tab.onUpdate as well as some state or focus change hook to correlate.
I really want this, please make it!
I have an enterprise-deployed chrome extension that I do not want to be listed on the chrome://extensions page. Is there some technique I can use to accomplish this?
No, there is not.
You already can have it force-installed without a possibility of disabling.
What's your point in hiding it from users? Only dishonest reasons (i.e. spying without the employee knowledge) come to mind.
I'm looking to offer the user (inside my Chrome Extension) the option to change their Omnibox default search engine.
Sadly, I've been unable to find any documentation on how to do something like this. Has anyone does this before successfully?
Actually with new versions of chrome it's possible through chrome API via settings_override section. But for now it's working only on windows.
Not possible, sadly. See this bug filed in Chromium
Does chrome extensions api provide an event for hovering with your mouse on tabs ? I'm unable to find it in the docs, or maybe there is an undocumented way ?
Seems there is no way of doing this currently. I hope they add it !
Looking at the docs for Chrome extension development, there doesn't seem to be an onHover() event for tabs at the moment. This needs to come out!
