feat(extension): improve page capture, attachments, and browser shortcuts by waleedlatif1 · Pull Request #9629 · simstudioai/sim

waleedlatif1 · 2026-11-03T19:06:47Z

Summary

Add a remembered, opt-in Reference current page on send setting. Keep page controls visible above long workspace lists, preserve drafts when access is missing, and let explicit page or selection attachments take priority.
Improve site-specific permission recovery, chip contrast and narrow-panel layout, and screenshot file drops across workspace, organization, and Assistant chats. Existing 0.1.2 shells remain compatible.
Show the actual keyboard binding and focus guidance, protect sensitive selections, and open sanitized, length-bounded Sim Link drafts from the browser context menu. Only Create saves a draft.
Add Browser shortcuts onboarding and optional recovery of explicit sim/name searches on supported search providers. Chrome applies declarative rules after site consent; ordinary searches and the default engine remain unchanged. Installation permissions are unchanged.
Add admin-only, organization-scoped managed bookmark export with current role, visibility, and link-identity checks. Preserve URL and description search matches. Document installation, shortcuts, permissions, and privacy.

Type of Change

Bug fix
Feature

Testing

Passed locally: lint, workspace type checks, audits, generators, block-registry validation, and adjacent tests. Full root tests and all canonical browser suites are required in CI before merge.
Passed locally: 32 packaged Chromium checks, 9 navigation checks, and 15 composer checks with one optional live-provider skip. CI passed all 39 hosted checks and 17 Sim Links HTTP checks on the final head.
Native Chrome permission deny/allow/revoke, browser restart, shortcut remapping and unassigned keys, protected selections, and narrow-panel interaction checks. Dia page capture, chip preview/removal, and single-attachment scrolling were also verified.
Regression controls were removed independently to demonstrate failures. The workspace-picker outage case uses deterministic ordering and real native window dimensions so bottom-row clicks exercise the hosted app.

Confidence Score: 5/5

[High impact] The PR appears safe to merge; no new actionable issues were established.

Summary

This PR improves page capture and attachments in the Chrome sidebar and adds browser shortcut setup.

Sim Chat can add the active page when you send a message.
Explicit sim/name searches can open Sim Links from supported search sites.
Web links can become organization-bound Sim Link drafts and bookmarks.
Chat composers accept dropped screenshot files without treating links as uploads.
Extension guides and build metadata describe the new browser workflows.

No new actionable issues were established. waleedlatif1 explained that users can belong to only one organization and that rejecting outsiders is intentional. The earlier team-bookmark finding was withdrawn; the shared guard remains.

Confidence score: 4/5

In use-file-drop.ts, the editable-target exception can let a dragged web image through when its payload also includes text/plain, allowing native drop handling to fetch the remote resource. Narrow the exception so these image drops are handled by the app.

Check if these issues are valid — if so, understand the root cause of each and fix them. When an issue isn't valid or won't be fixed in this PR, reply in its thread with the reason and then resolve the thread. If appropriate, use sub-agents to investigate and fix each issue separately.


<file name="apps/sim/app/workspace/[workspaceId]/w/[workflowId]/components/panel/components/copilot/components/user-input/hooks/use-file-drop.ts">

<violation number="1" location="apps/sim/app/workspace/[workspaceId]/w/[workflowId]/components/panel/components/copilot/components/user-input/hooks/use-file-drop.ts:28">
P2: This exception is too broad for editable targets: a dragged web image can include `text/plain` alongside `text/html` or `text/uri-list`, so this return allows the browser’s native drop handling and can fetch the remote image. Exempt only genuinely plain-text drags by requiring neither `text/html` nor `text/uri-list` before returning.</violation>
