Why is this not in Reader as a setting already?

This is one of the first things I install when I do a fresh Firefox install.

Great script! THANK YOU!!!

I have updated the script for the apparent recent changes in Google Reader. It was not marking the links properly in an entry.

Google Reader Quick Links FTW. This is the definitive script for Google Reader. Keyboard navigation through posts, including quick and easy enumeration and opening of links. Best of all: links open in a tab *behind* your current tab.

Ben,
the problem's disappeared. I didn't change anything, so maybe Google has changed something.
Best

Metropol -- I installed Google Gears to test and was still able to see the icon. Maybe it is another script interfering with the page? Or maybe Gears is suffering its beta status? Let me know if the problem persists or if you figure out the cause.

Hi Ben.

I've just installed Google Gears and it seems there are 'interferences' with this script.
The small icon that controls switching between online and offline modes (that should be in the top-right menu of Reader, between the email account and the settings) is not displayed when Google Reader Quick Links is enabled.

Just noted this, and didn't look at the code yet to try to understand why.

I have just posted an update that will allow you to set your own shortcut keys. The defaults will remain as described in the documentation, but now a menu item is added under Greasemonkey to guide you through customizing these keys.

F1 is hardwired to Help for Windows users. Is it possible to move this to another Key or make the key a variable which can be modified by users?

dsjkvf — Sat, 31 Mar 2007 01:41:34 -0500

nevermind, Ben :). modified version can be found here.

the only difference comparing to the original script is that shortcuts are changed in order to make the script work with the "Find as you type" Fx's feature enabled.

new keybindgs are the following:

press F1-F1 to enumerate links;
press F1-# to open the link number # (e.g., F1-5 opens the link number 5);
and press F1-F2 to open the url of the original message.

Ben, thanks for the integration. The updated scripts looks in better shape than my hack.
I have changed the other page to inform about the update and to suggest this install instead.

metropol, I have updated the script with your changes. Please try it out and send back any comments. Feel free to keep your own script.

Ben,

the script is posted in Google Reader Block Links; can you get it from there and update your script?

Once it is done, I will modify the Google Reader Block Links page to inform about the update in the original script.
As there are people who have installed the script, I would rather keep the page on.
Would that be fine?

metropol, I haven't been monitoring the comments here (now I see that I should) and would be more than happy to add your additions to the original script.

Hi, it's me again.

no reply here, so I am posting the extended script as a *new* script named "Google Reader Block Links".

Archived Comments, replied by metropol @ Wed, 21 Feb 2007 20:55:39 -0600

metropol — Wed, 21 Feb 2007 20:55:39 -0600

Hi.

I have extended the script as follows:

1) Added support for handling post with more than 10 links. Pressing keystroke f+l multiple times will move by blocks of 10 consecutive links, tagged [0-9] as in the original script. At any give time, only a subset of 10 links will be available. Blocks will restart from top when the last link in the post is reached.

2) Added secure (https) versions in include directives.

I'd like to submit the script and I wish Mr. Beckwith could comment if he prefers to have it as a update to his work.

Thank you.
Ugo

dsjkvf, you need to go to Firefox Options->Advanced. Under the General tab-> Accessibility, uncheck "Begin finding when you begin typing". Works for me.

strange, but it doesn't seem to work for me: i see no numbers on links (should i?) and pressing 'f' just makes Find As You Type to start.

Mac OS X, Fx 1.5.0.9

Updated the script (long overdue) and added a 'control key' so that my shortcuts do not interfere with the built-in Reader shortcuts.
