Alt-s doesn't activate jetzt Firefox bookmarlet #132

Closed davidegts closed 10 years ago

This works really well as a Firefox bookmarklet! Thank you for all your hard work!

Should Alt-s activate the bookmarlet with Firefox?

The web page https://ds300.github.io/jetzt/#use seems to imply that, but Firefox's Hi(s)tory pulldown menu is activated instead.

If it helps, I'm specifically using Firefox 24.4.0 ESR for RHEL 6 x86_64.

Thanks again!

I did figure out a workaround...

  1. Install https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/bookmark-shortcut-keys/
  2. Move the jetzt bookmarlet to be the first in the Bookmarks Toolbar
  3. Hit Ctrl-1 to activate the first Bookmark which is now the jetzt bookmarklet
  4. Enjoy jetzt!

In firefox you can define a keyword for every bookmarklet. If you give the jetzt bookmarklet the letter j as keyword you can start it by entering j in the address bar and pressing enter.

Good point and thanks for the reply. That's another way to do it. Specifically...

  1. Setup: Set up keyword for bookmarklet as noted above, say using letter j.
  2. Ctrl-l to get to the link bar
  3. Enter j and return
  4. Enjoy jetzt!

This method works well but I'm prefering the former method as it's 1 keystroke compared to 3 keystrokes in the latter. It's great to have options and see what works best personally!

Thanks again for the dialog!
