how iterate through the binaryninja open tabs?

[hanssl]

Prior to the 3.0 release of binja, it was possible to iterate over the open tabs and then switch to the desired one (see the attached screenshot). This code no longer works with the 3.0 release. Is there an improved way to perform this operation in 3.0

?

Yes, this is a result of the UI refactor that changed how the window hierarchy works. Something like this worked for me:

for tab in UIContext.activeContext().getTabs():
  if tab.getTabName() == "ls":
    UIContext.activeContext().activateTab(tab)

@psifertex If I run the following in the binaryninja python console then I get back a context:

from binaryninjaui import UIContext
UIContext.activeContext()

However, I run the same code from a python plugin then activeContext() returns 'None'.

Yes, for a UI plugin you'll want to register a UIAction which will get passed a context. Similar to how snippets does it here:
