Add hotkey to suspend tabs.

Ibash

On chrome I had an extension that would suspend all tabs across all windows. Was great for freeing up memory. In particular it avoided suspending tabs that had edited form fields.

Maybe "suspend all tabs" in a context menu would be useful.

Ibash Orion already has this Tools -> Low power mode

Low power mode is not the same as what the OP asked for..

I would also really like this. I have a lot of tabs open and sometimes there's one of them drawing a lot of CPU power even though I'm not using it. But in order to find which one I have to manually suspend each and every tab.

This is not the same as "Low power mode" since:

1: Low power mode does not hibernate pinned tabs.
2: Having to turn on and off "Low power mode" to suspend all my tabs seems not ideal.

Why not just have a menu option (and a keyboard shortcut ideally) to "Suspend all tabs"?

comatose_tortoise Menu option where?

comatose_tortoise

Vlad Tools --> Suspend all other tabs

comatose_tortoise

Is this difficult to implement? I'd love to have it, still..

There already is the option to suspend the current tab in the menu Window.

Would make sense to have suspend all tabs there.

Honestly, having a hotkey to suspend tab would be killer.

Vlad

Tacketh We can easilly add a hot key. Which one?

Tacketh

I do not know the definitive list of hotkeys across Orion so my suggestion might clash with an existing one. I would be happy with CMD + Option + S but open to anything really.

Awesome!

A shortcut to suspend tabs instead of closing the browser for battery use

eirk

Window->Suspend Tab can be used to add your own shortcut

Fortrikka

eirk Or perhaps a keyboard window preferences tab?

Fortrikka That is a separate issue. pretty sure there already is a post for it too.

eirk Is suspend shortcut not really important enough like Edge or Firefox to have a dedicated shortcut? Do those browsers have dedicated shortcuts pre-configured by default?

eirk

Fortrikka firefox and chrome do not have a trivial way to suspend tabs, and thus no shortcuts. make a separate post if you would like for a default shortcut to suspend tabs.
