type-nepali's Issues

Uncaught (in promise) Error: Could not establish connection. Receiving end does not exist.

Type-Nepali/scripts/popup.js

Lines 26 to 34 in e0443eb

	chrome.tabs.query({}, function (tabs) {
	tabs.forEach(async (tab) => {
	// if the tab is a chrome url return
	const pattern = /^chrome\:\/\/.*/;
	if (pattern.test(tab.url)) return;
	console.log(tab);
	await chrome.tabs.sendMessage(tab.id, {
	translate: boolean,

The line await chrome.tabs.sendMessage(tab.id, {
translate: boolean, raises the Could not establish connection. Receiving end does not exist. error on some circumstances. This is most-likely because of the fact that chrome doesn't automatically re-inject the content scripts in the currently open tabs after the extension is updated/installed.

Add keyboard shortcuts support for turning the Nepali typing on/off.

Whenever a user needs to turn the extension on/off, they need to open the extension and click on/off. While chrome by default provides user the option to add a keyboard shortcut to activate the extension(show popup), it would just be easier if there would be a shortcut option to simply turn the Nepali typing on/off without opening the popup.

Firefox compatibility?

I tried to make this extension compatible with firefox but instead broke everything. So if anyone more competent them me could, please do that. Thanks!
