Can brotab determine which tabs are pinned?

[bjohas]

Hello,

thanks for building brotab! It's great!

Can brotab work out which tabs are pinned and which ones are not?

Many thanks!

I don't believe so, but I don't think this would be too hard to implement if you want to try and submit a pull request.

In Firefox, browser.tabs.query() does return a pinned boolean which you could use. Surely there is something similar for chromium-based browsers, but you'd have to look into it.

I think the main tricky thing would be exactly how you would envision the exact implementation details and whether others agree, especially the project owner. Like do you imagine returning a boolean value for each tab listed in bt list? If so, you'd have to think about aspects like whether that would break backwards compatibility for others, slow anything down, or clutter the list format. Not everyone uses the pinning feature (I don't). Do you also want to support changing tabs' pinned status with bt update? Anyway, if you implement something, then others could try it out, give feedback, request changes and suggest fixes, and the owner would probably approve once everything seems good.
