################################################################################ <# .SYNOPSIS Takes control of a selected web browser tab for interactive manipulation. .DESCRIPTION This function enables interactive control of a browser tab that was previously selected using Select-WebbrowserTab. It provides direct access to the Microsoft Playwright Page object's properties and methods, allowing for automated browser interaction. .PARAMETER UseCurrent When specified, uses the currently assigned browser tab instead of prompting to select a new one. This is useful for continuing work with the same tab. .PARAMETER Force Forces a browser restart by closing all tabs if no debugging server is detected. Use this when the browser connection is in an inconsistent state. .EXAMPLE Unprotect-WebbrowserTab -UseCurrent .EXAMPLE wbctrl -Force #> function Unprotect-WebbrowserTab { [CmdletBinding(DefaultParameterSetName = "Default")] [System.Diagnostics.CodeAnalysis.SuppressMessageAttribute("PSAvoidGlobalVars", "")] [Alias("wbctrl")] param( ######################################################################## [Parameter( Mandatory = $false, Position = 0, ParameterSetName = "Default", HelpMessage = "Use current tab instead of selecting a new one" )] [Alias("current")] [switch] $UseCurrent, ######################################################################## [Parameter( Mandatory = $false, Position = 1, ParameterSetName = "Default", HelpMessage = "Restart browser if no debugging server detected" )] [switch] $Force ######################################################################## ) begin { Write-Verbose "Initializing browser tab control sequence..." # get reference to powershell window for manipulation $pwshW = Get-PowershellMainWindow } process { if (-not $UseCurrent) { Clear-Host Write-Verbose "Prompting user to select a browser tab..."
