I am trying add a custom tab in office 365 Word in the ribbon. There are countless examples of how to do this in VSTO that I can find, but no code example of this in Office 365 AddIn web project.
Closest thing I found is this documentation below. This is also lacking any proper coding sample. Also, this was writting in July 2022.
https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/javascript/api/manifest/customtab?view=powerpoint-js-preview
From this link below, I can tell that adding a tab is allowed in Office 365, but the coding samples are from 6 to 7 years ago.
https://github.com/OfficeDev/Office-Add-in-Commands
There is also this video tutorial and similar ones like this - but this doesn't show adding new tab.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZWw-fJ7eldU
There are samples that show how to make Task Pane project. But not for add a custom tab in the ribbon and then add a menu inside it.
Am I missing something? Does office 365 web project allow for adding custom tab? If so, can someone point me to a sample coding project or a video tutorial that shows this?
The ribbon UI extensibility features in web add-ins are still limited comparing to Office COM add-ins, but with a time MS adds features such as contextual tabs support, position on the ribbon (preview), enabled/disabled state, integration of built-in controls. Read more about all that features in the Add-in commands for Excel, PowerPoint, and Word article.
There are two types of add-in commands, based on the kind of action that the command triggers.
Task pane commands: The button or menu item opens the add-in's task pane. You add this kind of add-in command with markup in the manifest. The "code behind" the command is provided by Office.
Function commands: The button or menu item runs any arbitrary JavaScript. The code almost always calls APIs in the Office JavaScript Library, but it doesn't have to. This type of add-in typically displays no UI other than the button or menu item itself. Note the following about function commands:
The function that is triggered can call the displayDialogAsync method to show a dialog, which is a good way to display an error, show progress, or prompt for input from the user. If the add-in is configured to use a shared runtime, the function can also call the showAsTaskpane method.
The runtime in which the function command runs is a full browser-based runtime. It can render HTML and call out to the Internet to send or get data.
Use VersionOverrides in your manifest to define add-in commands for Excel, PowerPoint, and Word. Add-in commands provide an easy way to customize the default Office user interface (UI) with specified UI elements that perform actions. See Create add-in commands in your manifest for Excel, PowerPoint, and Word.

I need to write a Gnome extension which can browse through the Evolution Calender events. User will select multiple dates in the calender, and by using the extension - a meeting chain will be created using a same universal ID. I have no prior experience with Gnome, and there is a lack of documentation/ help with this. My progress so far is generation an extension.js file from this article and getting to know about the fucntions.
Any help with how to get started with the task and how to access the events?
I want to show a specific folder from a SharePoint document library in my App. I would like to show them, with all SharePoint functionalities (like open in Word, delete, checkout etc.)
I would like to do that similar to MS Teams - there's the e.g. the general folder shown inside of teams. (And in my eyes it is not a frame)
My Question:
Is there any framework (Javascript or c#) or code sample to do this, like in teams?
I know, how to rebuild it with e.g. a gridview and CSOM.
A link to the library/folder does not help, then the user leave the app context.
Im looking to send a key press to a background application using AppleScript modules within a keyboard maestro macro. I would like one module to send key down to app and another module to release the key to background application.
I have tried keyboard maestro built in functionality to do this, I have read elsewhere about AppleScript features which seem to allow this functionality but im not very advanced with AppleScript so some help would be appreciated!
i was wondering if there is a possibility to distribute my Custom Script to all the sheets in my workspace. I came upon different ways with libraries or Add-ons, but they all lack some points i want to accomplish.
I want it to be private only for my Google Account
I need it to run the onOpen(e) Trigger for every File on my Sheets Account
(So i can add a custom menu to all my Files)
I also need to set a time Trigger for each File so my main() Function runs every night (right now i always create a new trigger when i rerun my main Function)
So far i can use the Library Option and create a new Script for all my Files and call my Main Function out of that Library. This Workaround does not include an onOpen Trigger event. When i use the Ability of run->test as addon and manually add all new Files (which come up every new month) i also lack the possibility of trigger functions.
If you have Solution Ideas I'd be very happy.

An Add-on can be published privately. Private Add-ons
A Library is private by default - The only way that someone outside of your account can use your script as a library, is to set the file sharing to allow them to use it. Gaining access to a library
A Library can not run a simple trigger, but an Add-on can. The reserved function name onOpen() can't be triggered by a library. See Table - Resource Scoping
An Add-on can run the onOpen() function
An Add-on can create an add-on menu.
An Add-on can create one time-based trigger for each document it is installed in. Quote: "Each add-on can only have one trigger of each type, per user, per document" Add-on Restrictions
If you want to do something like overwrite an Apps Script file, that can be done with the Apps Script API. Even script projects that are bound to a document (Sheets, Forms, Docs) can be overwritten with the Apps Script API.
StackOverflow answer - Update an Apps Script file using Apps Script
You can also update the manifest file of an Apps Script file using the Apps Script API, and therefore, programmatically add a library, and the library version to an existing Apps Script File.
I downloaded sts and installed the grails/groovy plugins which is fine, but I can not use the JavaScript functionality like jumping through classes and functions in the JavaScript editor.
When I click command and on the functions name, I get a dialog saying "you have to make this a JavaScript project etc." :( :(
intellij is much better at this I think, but it takes all my cpu usage which is really sad :( so I need to switch to eclipse...
My question is: Why can't I use the JavaScript editor plugin from eclipse when my project is a "grails project"?
Eclipse's JavaScript editor is part of the Eclipse Web Tools Project (WTP). Thus, it's shipped with SpringSource Tools Suite (STS).
In new STS Grails projects as created by the Grails project creation wizard, however, the JavaScript project facet is not enabled by default.
To enable it,
right-click on the project root in the Project View,
select Properties,
in the Properties dialog, select Project Facets,
click Convert to faceted form...,
mark the JavaScript checkbox,
and click OK.
After that,
there will be a new top-level item JavaScript Resources (where you can browse the sources of ECMA and third-party JavaScript files),
and there'll be code inspection and completion in HTML <script> tags
and JavaScript source files (file extension: .js),
including for third-party libraries.
