Hotkeys at leftmost icon

Post by Zebar »

Hello,

I'm a huge fan of noscript and using it for years. I'm really used to having no script at the left most corner, some of the other extensions takes leftmost at pushes noscript icon to right. It will be really good have an option to set noscript status bar icon to left corner.

I also like the hotkey ctrl-shift-s, I'm not sure if its possible, but it would be really cool if the box opens near the mouse(just like the left click box) instead of upperleft corner
Firefox

In Firefox 4 (and a NoScript version which will be released before the final Firefox 4 release) you'll be able to move the NoScript icon everywhere you want.

Unfortunately it's impossible, because there's no Firefox API to know where your mouse pointer is unless a mouse event is being processed.
The only way would be tracking mouse move events and then using the stored coordinates, but this tracking is probably too much heavy to be worth.

What about having that menu open on the middle of the screen? It can save some time.

Maybe. However, please notice that you'd save more time by keeping to use the keyboard (arrows to move and [Enter] to select), rather than switching to the mouse after using a keyboard accelerator.
