This seems strange. Are you still not seeing the script enabled when you add the 2 URL's or is it that the script is enabled, but the keys are not working?

Still doesn't work. I added the http://www.google.ca/reader* and https://www.google.ca/reader* to the script from the Greasemonkey (rightclick)->Manage User Scripts window->Included Pages area of the window. Reloading the page and trying the shortcuts do not work.

There are no other Google Reader scripts enabled.

Anything I can do or try?

Thanks Craig.

Let me know if it is fine and I will add that to the script.

Regards,
Gautham

Gautham Pai: I believe I found the problem. Google for me defaults to Google Canada, so I get the .ca at the end and not the .com.
I can fix this in the script, but you may want to add this to the main version of the script. I'll try it out and let you know.

For some reason it doesn't work with Opera 10 at all, though it worked fine with Opera 9.

Is it a problem on my side and it should work fine with Opera 10? It would be nice to get it working on the new major version of Opera.

How about us Mac users who don't have an Alt key? I used the Shift combos all the time.

Thanks.

Hmm, what is your URL when you are in Google Reader? It has support for the following:

http://www.google.com/reader*
https://www.google.com/reader*

I actually tried the Ctrl-Alt combos and then tried the Shift combos because the first ones didn't work. I can look at the Error Console if it helps to try to find out the problem. When I right click on the greasemonkey icon while on the greader page, I don't see the script listed as I usually do with the scripts I have enabled in gmail.

Hi Craig,

Are you trying the shortcuts - Ctrl+Alt+Y and Ctrl+Alt+I or Shift+I and Shift+Y?

I changed the keyboard shortcuts in the new version, so that may be the reason. If you want the Shift modifiers, then you can use this script:

I guess this doesn't work with FF 2.0.x? The key combos do not work for me.

This version http://userscripts.org/scripts/version/24955/11... finally works for me with the original hotkeys Shift+Y and Shift+I. Thank you!

@kcin: There were some people complaining about clashes with other apps/scripts, so I changed it.

You can try this version of the script:
http://userscripts.org/scripts/version/24955/11... and it should use Shift instead of Ctrl+Alt.

Thanks,
Gautham

Thanks @strawbeard.

I guess it's tough to come up with the right combination! I changed it from Shift to Ctrl+Alt precisely because of the clashes.

I inserted alert statements into the script: Ctrl+Alt+I is passed to function "keyPressEvent", whereas Ctrl+Alt+Y is _not_ - it must have been captured by some other function (extension). I use now Ctrl+Alt+U (up) and Ctrl+Alt+D (down).

"This script is probably the main reason I use Firefox."

I use it with Opera as a user javascript and it works perfectly.

"Please note that the keyboard shortcuts have been changed to Ctrl+Alt+Y and Ctrl+Alt+I instead of Shift. "

Was there a technical reason to change the shortcuts? Can we change it back in the script to Shift-Y?

@strawbeard: We meet again! lol.

FWIW, the v1.3 rev is working swimmingly for me. Good job Gautham!

Ctrl+Alt+I now works, but Ctrl+Alt+Y still does _not_.

Indeed. This script is probably the main reason I use Firefox. I am not quite sure how I would use Google Reader without it, given that using "mark all as read" in list mode has the nasty habbit of marking as read even items are not yet listed (i.e., items that post-dated the last time one refreshed the list).

Hi all,

The recent changes to the Google Reader interface broke the script. I have a temporary fix released as 1.3, this hasn't been thoroughly tested yet. But it should do for now.

Please note that the keyboard shortcuts have been changed to Ctrl+Alt+Y and Ctrl+Alt+I instead of Shift. Let me know if you find any bugs.

Thanks,
Gautham

I have been having the same problem just starting yesterday. It was working, and then suddenly stopped working. Shitf-Y just expands and collapses the selected item. This is several machines, some with FF 3, some with 3.5.2. Both with the straight greasemonkey plugin and the Better Google Reader add-on. I agree this must have something to do with the changes to Google Reader. Anyone figured out how to get this working again?

@strawbeard: I've noticed the same thing today. I suspect it's due to the changes in Google Reader that were rolled out Aug 12 (http://googlereader.blogspot.com/2009/08/flurry...)

FF 3.5.2, no RIL

strawbeard — Thu, 13 Aug 2009 21:32:01 +0000

FF 3.5.2, reader-integration of Read-It Later extension disabled: Shift+Y only toggles collapsed/expanded view of current entry; none of the preceding entries is marked as read. I tried the version integrated into the Better GReader first, then the stand-alone version (1.2) - same results.
