Google Reader - wide view

Hide/Show headers and footers in Google Reader

Add shortcut key 'w' to hide and show the headers and footers in Google Reader.

Use shortcut keys 'g h'(home), 'g r'(read items), 'g s'(stared items), 'g u'(subscription selector) and 'g l'(label selector) instead of top navigation, when you hide header.

Hi, thank you for this script, is exactly what I've been looking for!

However, if any part of Google Reader layout changes, your script have to be adapted, and in the meantime it throws a JS error when it doesn't found the ID of any element in the array, breaking the loop and leaving a messy UI.

So, I changed line 30 of your script to look like these:

    if(e=document.getElementById(ids[i])) e.style.display = is_visible?"none":"block";

..to first check if the element is there and in case it isn't, just continue with what's left to hide.

I also recommend to add "gbar", at the end of line 17 to hide the Google's services bar, and "chrome-footer-container", at the end of line 19 to hide the previous and next item links, these are basically useless if you use keyboard shortcuts to navigate through entries.

Hope it helps! David from Argentina.
