WorkTabWizard

A silent, fast tab manager for Microsoft Edge — built with Python, and sockets.

Requirements

• Python installed
• A separate user directory to launch Microsoft Edge

Features

• Focus or open URLs in Edge instantly
• Works silently in the background
• Stream Deck & AHK compatible
• Uses Edge’s remote debugging protocol

Setup

1. Clone the repo

2. Create a .env file (see .env.example)

3. Set up a Python virtual environment python -m venv venv

4. Install dependencies: pip install -r requirements.txt

5. Rename commands.json to commands.local.json

The way i use it is have an AHK script in my startup folder that runs "e:/Path/to/the/script/rootdir/venv/Scripts/python.exe" "e:/Path/to/script/rootdir/wizard_server.py", , Hide. This is to start the virtual environment and server on startup.

AHK Use

Have a hotkey run Run, "e:/Path/to/the/script/rootdir/venv/Scripts/pythonw.exe" "e:/Path/to/the/script/rootdir/socket_client.py" -command-, , Hide

Stream Deck Use

I like to use BarRaider's Advanced Launcher, and it works pretty much the same as with AHK; the program to run is e:/Path/to/the/script/rootdir/venv/Scripts/pythonw.exe, and the arguments are "e:/Path/to/the/script/rootdir/socket_client.py" -command-
