DONE: Have list of URLs, and, in Chrome, manually load one, then next, etc.

No, it's not like what you think.  In fact, it's rather inelegant.  Here's a commented snippet that should explain things:


--- Code: Autohotkey ---myURL := "myURLsArray" . _URLnum ; Dereference the variable.SendInput, ^l                    ; Send a Ctrl+L hotkey to focus the address bar.  Works for FF, IE, and Chrome.SendInput, % %myURL%             ; Send the actual URL text.Sleep, 750                       ; Small wait time to allow for long(er) URLs.SendInput, {ENTER}               ; Send and Enter keystroke to load the page.
Make more sense now?  A hack, pretty much.   :-[

Interesting.. but you could also just do a shell exec to open a url and it will open in default browser, OR simply invokle an explicit browser exe and pass the url to it on commandline.

Sure, but then you run the risk of multiple windows/tabs (something the OP didn't want).

Yeah, I get it now. A big part of what I was missing was that Control-L even existed.

I was looking for some kind of "pass info to the app".

All hail hacks!  :)

+1, I've been using Alt-D for that in all mentioned browsers since ages, but Ctrl-L seems like a decent alternative :)
