First of all, thank you for making this powerful script, it helps me a lot everyday.

There is a little problem makes me can't always activate it. In some pages I don't need to use this script, but as long as the mouse cursor pass through the checkbox, the little icon will appear, sometimes the menu will apear at the same time, then my operation is often interrupted.

I think if the little icon only appear when I right-click on the checkbox, this problem will be solved. Besides, when the little icon appeared, I felt my browser slowed a little. Then I think if the icon does not appear when I don't want to use this feature, I can always activate this script, and don't need to switch this script again and again.

Thank you.

Hey Fenghou its just as simple and quick to go into Manage Scripts and disable the script when you don't need it...?

Yes, I can disable it when I don't need it.
But I have to do this thing again and again everyday, that makes me tired.
So I only enable it when I have to use it, in most of the time it is disabled.

Hi Fenghou,

Perhaps it would be easier to exclude the sites on which it gets in the way? You can do this by going to Tools/Greasemonkey/Manage User Scripts, and add excluded pages.

Thank you for your reply. :)
Sadly I can't solve my problem by excluding those sites, because the sites where I use this script are usually the same sites where this script bothers me. Those sites contain too many checkboxes, I can't stop myself from hovering over them by mistake.

It seems some people don't have the same problem as me, then I think you could perhaps add an option to choose whether directly showing the little icon when hovering over the checkboxes.
