The following script works for me, but it requires that you only have one Chrome window, and that window to be active. It should be easy to tweak it or improve it.
WINID=$(xdotool search --name 'Google Chrome' | head -n 1)
WINID_HEX=$(printf "0x%x" $WINID)
while true
do
xwininfo -id $WINID_HEX | grep Gmail
if [ "$?" -ne 0 ]
then
xdotool key --window $WINID ctrl+Tab
else
break
fi
sleep 2
done
There are probably many other ways to do this:
- Using Chromium and modify its source code
- Writing an extension for Chrome that would switch to the right tab when a certain condition is met
- Using tools like xmacro
- Etc.
