[DONE] Request: Improve Ctrl+Shift+S Hotkey

Post by jso »

Hi, I've been using NoScript for several years now and I think it's great!

One thing I would like to request is a simple improvement to the primary hotkey (Ctrl+Shift+S). I have such a strong habit of pressing this all the time to see what domains are enabled or disabled, so I'd like it to be optimized a bit by being able to press it once to see the list, then a 2nd time to remove the list. In other words, I could hold down Ctrl+Shift then press 'S' to get the list, quickly notice everything's enabled properly (which is usually the case) then press 'S' again to remove the list. As it is now, you have to press Escape to remove the list.

Adblock Plus supports this hotkey feature -- I press Ctrl+Shift+A to get list of blocked elements, keep the first 2 held and press 'A' again to close the list.

Hopefully this is a simple enough enhancement to make...

For the record, I have never used this ("ctrl+shift+S") hotkey. After reading about this functionality, I altered the "about:config" variable (changed to "ctrl+shift+N") to use it. One reason I have never used the "ctrl+shift+S" is that key sequence has been used by my long-time Windows screensaver (WebShots) to immediately invoke the screen saver. A second reason is certain Linux apps (some editors et al) use "ctrl+shift+S" for "Save" (instead of the more-traditional "ctrl+S". Now that I use this, the OP's suggestion is quite worthwhile.

I'm bumping this in the hope that it could be implemented at some point. Perhaps somebody could even point me to the area of the code where it could be implemented and I could try to figure it out. I've got a little GM devel under my belt, though I've never looked at NoScript's source.
