I love this script! But I modified [shift-v] shortcut to [alt-enter] for easier use.

function handleKeypress(e)
{
// Handle an alt-enter keypress instead of shift-v
if (e.target.nodeName.toLowerCase()!='input' && e.altKey && e.keyCode==13)
{
previewShortcut();
e.preventDefault();
}
}

Thank Julien Carosi for this script.

@Julian (Apr 12, 2008)on 1.07g:
"Also fixes Shift-V shortcut."

Now Gmail shortcut '?' for help screen no longer works, all the other shortcuts still work. On my Swiss German keyboard '?' is entered as [Shift]-[single quote]. Could this be a side-effect of the Shift-V fix?

Doesnt work for FreakonomicsBlog feed. The blog opens as a complete window instead of a frame.

Great Work!!!

Thanks for the update.

I really love this Script!
Thank you!

Great Script! Thx!

The latest update (v1.07e) needs a tweak before it will toggle back to the original view.

Change line 221 of gpe.user.js to entryBody.style.display='block';

Thanks for the recent update. However, it introduced a regression: closing a preview doesn’t bring back the original content.

As for my wish list, in order of preference:

– fix the regressions (including Shift+V being broken)
– iframe auto-sizing. I think iGoogle has some code to do this, so you may want to look into how they do that. There’s also Bug 80713.
– Remembering which feeds should default to preview
– Prevent iframe escaping. Is a general solution for that even possible?

Nicely done - I appreciate this quick fix!

My wish list for GPE:

- Prevent iframe escape (very important)
- Iframe auto-sizing
- Auto update

Allow a configurable hotkey. Being able to use "F" in the hacked version is an advantage, though user configurable would be even better :)

I am using Flock 1.1.1 and it's using FF 2.0.0.13. I've tried the fix below to fix my FF beta 4 and it worked; however, it doesn't work in my Flock. I did exactly the same. Can anyone offers some help?

Sorry scratch that - it was an invisible folder.

I cant get the fix to work, for the simple reason that my system doesn't have an 'application data' directory within my <username> directory. Is there anywhere else Firefox could store my profile? I can't find any of the files or directories mentioned through a filesearch either :|

Windows XP SP2, Firefox 2.0.0.13</username>

I attempted to follow sbw07's instructions for applying John Doppke's preview fix to the Better GReader extension, but editing the .jar file directly in a text editor did not work for me (it broke the Firefox chrome).

Here is what did work:

I extracted the .jar archive by following the instructions here:

http://home.att.net/~cherokee67/jarfile.html

After the files are extracted, the .js file to edit is:

content\user_scripts\previewenhanced.js

Make the change indicated by John Doppke (in my version of the file it is on line 182), save the file, repack the archive, and you should be all set.

HTH

Woops, it seems using this fix makes the Better Greader Optins window disappear. All I see now is the title bar of the options. So I guess if yyou lie to constrantly change your options stay away from it.

I wrote "change the def. app. for .jar files back to the Java Virtual Machine". Obviously I meant "Java Platform SE binary" Sorry.

I'm using the Better GReader version and John Doppke's fix worked for me. The file that had to be modified is better greader.jar located at xxxxxxxx.default\extensions\bettergreader@ginatrapani.org\chrome

I had to change the dafault application for jar files to notepad in order to edit it. Next, do a search in notepad for "Need to scroll before changing entry-body" (without the quotation marks). Approx. 5 lines below the result is the entry John mentions. Edit it, save, and then change the def. app. for .jar files back to the Java Virtual Machine. The Preview should now be working.

Thanks John and Julien!!
