For the time being the extension is not available on Chrome Web Store (and I don't know if it will ever be) so go to the download page and grab the latest version. Just click on the .crx file and Chrome will try to install it.

Controls

Clicking the extension button pops up something like this:

Popup controls

This is how it works:

  • First checkbox:
    • Checked: get URLs from tabs in all windows.
    • Unchecked: get URLs from tabs in the current window.
  • Second checkbox: allows interaction with the clipboard.
    • Checked: get and put content directly to the clipboard.
    • Unchecked: get and put content in the text area.
  • Filter box: allows to use words as filters when retrieving or opening URLs.
    • :all: is a special term. If present retrieves URLs from all windows. This is just to test different aproaches to implement this behavioir.
  • Textarea: works as input and output (if the second checkbox is not selected).
  • Put button: opens new tabs with the URLs and search terms.
  • Get button: grabs the URLs from the tabs.
  • Reset button: reset the controls to their default values.
