AO3 Navigation Tweaks

[theaeblackthorn]

Hi all,

I made a greasemonkey script for AO3 that has some handy shortcuts in it.


Essentially this is just me sharing with the rest of the internet something I made to make my ao3 reading easier.

With this script:

- when viewing the works page in AO3, left arrow goes back a page in the pagination, right arrow goes forward a page, like tumblr's navigation.
- when viewing an individual work in AO3, left arrow goes to the next chapter, right to the previous chapter
- when on a work pressing the following keys causes the following behaviour:
-- 'd': downloads the .mobi version of the fic
-- 'k': leaves kudos
-- 'm': marks it for later
-- 's': subscribes
-- '#': sets the filters to 'english' and 'completed works only'*

Like I said, not comprehensive, just something I made to make my reading experience lazier and I thought other people might like as well.

(*pretty tailored to me, but I've left it in there incase someone else wants to use it)

It'd be great to hear if anyone else finds it helpful :)

Hey,

Mmm virtual baked goods! Aha, and that's interesting, I switched it last night from keydown to keypress because a chrome mac user was having trouble with the arrow events not registering which switching to keypress seemed to fix on chrome and ff on a mac, and ff on a pc. (I'm a ff user, using a mac at work and a pc at home [I'd never read fic at work <.<])

Thanks for tracking it down! Can you let me know your setup, browser and os? I'm curious about it now...

Oh, I should have included that info as well *facepalm* So sorry! I'm using a win7/FF(latest beta) combo.

From what I've read on keypress/keydown, keypress only guarantees character keys, not the arrows key. Maybe if you separated the arrow keypress to a different function? Keep keypress for the char keys and keydown for the rest? *shrugs*

Oh, that's a good idea! Thanks, I'll split them up :)
