Can't use a Chrome Extension for Overleaf

TeX - LaTeX Asked on May 16, 2021

I’ve been trying to make my workflow faster on Overleaf. Months ago I installed Overleaf Commander, which uses a keyboard shortcut (Ctrl + P as a standard) to access other files in the project. This was a great help but since yesterday it has stopped working, could anyone using Overleaf confirm this is case for them too? I haven’t changed anything in my settings and the last Chrome update was a couple of days ago.

As an alternative, I tried using SLext, but I can’t understand how it works or if it’s working at all. For instance I can’t use the "Open command palette" (Alt + P as standard) and all commands related to tabs. In fact, I can’t manage to open a single tab and I understand how this is done. I can however use the "Surround selection in LaTeX command", which means the extension isn’t completely broken.

This is really hindering my work and I didn’t know where else to ask, hope to get an answer.

developer at Overleaf here.

We've deployed some major changes to the file tree earlier this week. While the changes not super visible to end-user, the underlying code has changed a lot and I'm afraid this may have broken the extension.

Unfortunately, we do not have the capacity to provide support for such extensions and cannot guarantee backwards-compatibility. You may want to contact the extension's developer to let them know.

I've added a vote for this feature in our ideas tracker.
