Plug: LJ New Comments Greasemonkey Script

The LJ New Comments script for Greasemonkey is really cool. It keeps track of which comments you've already read, and gives handy keyboard shortcuts to jump to the [n]ext/[p]revious new comment.

It works with Dreamwidth, too.

It even works in Opera (did I mention I've been playing with Opera? I have. I'm not sure how I feel about it yet [it doesn't trivially provide some ui features I'm used to from firefox+vimperator], but it's really quick and lightweight compared to firefox) with a little fiddling. To get it to work in Opera:

  • Install the Greasemonkey Library Emulation UserJS.
  • Modify the New Comments script by wrapping it in:

    (function () {
    ...
    })();

  • Do the obvious stuff like configuring Opera with a UserScript directory and putting the New Comments script there.

Glad you like it!

The script needs GM_SetValue to work cross-domain, which it won't if the Opera emulation layer uses cookies. There was some discussion of this in a thread on the entry I use as the home page for the script: I think someone got it working eventually.
