Description

Currently it's not possible to detect which tab is playing media (audio/video) and go to it using Vimium.

We could implement it in 2 ways:

  • Show an indicator in Search through your open tabs (T) menu, as it shown in browser tabs.
  • Add commands like Go prev/next media playing tab.

What do you guys think?

Research direction

Review the existing Search through your open tabs (T) menu and tab-navigation command entry points. Clarify whether the goal is a media-playing indicator, previous/next commands, or both, then define completion around detecting playing audio/video tabs and navigating to them.
