Add Prev/Next Accesskeys

Adds accesskeys to "previous" and "next" type links (useful for reading multi-page forum threads, webcomic archives, google results, etc.). The keys are 'Alt-,' for back & 'Alt-.' for forward; 'Alt-<' & 'Alt->' do likewise but open the link in a new window/tab.

Please note:

Firefox 2.0 changed the default accesskey for web pages from "Alt-Key" to "Alt-Shift-Key", which is problematic since this script used to use Alt-Shift to open links in a new tab.

You can make Firefox go back to the old behaviour by typing "about:config" into the adress box, finding the ui.key.contentAccess setting and changing it's value to 4, as described on this page.

I'm sorry that this script hasn't been updated in a while, I'm getting around to it. In the mean time I'm wondering (in light of the problem above) if anyone other than me actually finds the "open in a new tab" thing useful?

Love it. And your textbox search script. The tip about:config is well posted, couldn't work out why the scripts stopped working. As for the "open in other window" -- no, I never use it.

I've been using this script for a long time now (it's great!), but when I upgraded to Firefox 2.0, it stopped working. Am I the only one that this happened to?

Meh, I'm just happy other people find it useful.

Good call on the search box idea, it's over here.

Thanks for updating the script. This script really rocks. I recommend it to a lot of people. It really should get more recognition. Another similar script that would be helpful would be to try to add an accesskey to the first search box on a website so you could always just press Alt+S and then do a search. Great job again man. Holla.

Excellent!

I'd be grateful if anyone who encounters a site that this script doesn't work with would post a link to that site here.

Also, I intend soon to add support for chevron links (eg '<<' or '<-><').
