Open Chrome window behind all opened windows using CLI











up vote

I am using automated testing with Nightwatch + Selenium + Chrome. And since I am testing a WebRTC app I am opening multiple windows and switching them from one to another in tests frequently. This is very annoying when developing, because windows just continuously popping up while tests are running on top of my active windows.



Is there any way (perhaps CLI switch) to open them behind all windows or something like that?



I also don't want to use headless chrome because I sometimes need to see what is happening in browser, open dev tools etc.






command-line google-chrome chromium

          You may easily keep these windows out of sight by running your tests on another
          virtual desktop. You may switch desktops using the Task View button or by
          the hotkeys Win+Ctrl+Left/Right.



          For Windows, you may consult these references:

                    Mouse cursor on multiple screens with different PPI

                    Image
                    24 6 I'm using a 4K display along with a Full HD display with both almost the same physical size and it brings some mouse cursor problems to me working with it on the default Windows settings. As the mouse movement speed depends on the pixels, it's very slow on the 4K display and very fast on the Full HD display. Is there a windows setting or application to move the mouse depending on the visible distance and not the pixels? Another problem is the virtual wall between the screens I can't move the cursor from the upper half of the 4K screen to the Full HD screen: How is it possible to virtually stretch the cursor transition area of the Full HD screen to the one of the 4K monitor? The smallest problem, nevertheless painful, is the cursor size which varies between the screens. Is there a way ...
