userscripts

I'm working on a Greasemonkey userscript for a web app that needs configuration steps before I can actually test my userscript's functionality. So every time I reload the page – to refresh my userscript from the updated file –, I have to reconfigure the web app before testing. Needless to say, this gets old very quickly. Is there a way to reload only the userscript , preferably from the userscript itself? I would want to e.g. bind the reload to a keyboard shortcut. I thought that this must be a very common need, but I came up empty-handed when trying to find a solution. Ben Connor Hansell

I wrote a simple Greasemonkey script that enlarges thumbnail pictures in a flyover popup. It uses a lot of jQuery in it. It works just fine on Firefox. But not on Chrome since it doesn't support @require. I came across this solution for this matter. But the script didn't work on Chrome even after I integrated it with the get-around code. I just put all my script code inside the solution code's main function. Is it wrong? If anyone can point out where is the problem, and what I can do to get it right, it'll be very much appreciated. function addJQuery(callback) { var script = document

I'm writing a Chrome userscript to locally auto-save content in a CKEditor . I'm using this CKEditor auto-save plugin as inspiration. I have written a function that fires every half second (via an interval) to register the CKEditor event handler: var intervalId = window.setInterval(function() { if (CKEDITOR) { window.clearInterval(intervalId); CKEDITOR.plugins.add("user-script-auto-save", { init : function(editor) { editor.on('key', startTimer); } }); } }, 500); However, it never properly completes, and complains that "CKEDITOR is undefined" on the if (CKEDITOR) statement. Meanwhile, if I drop

Why doesn't tampermonkey work on urls such as chrome://history/ or chrome://settings/ ? Any way to run an user script on this pages as well? Unfortunately, this isn't possible, because the chrome scheme ( chrome:// ) isn't supported in @match 's abilities. UserScripts also use Chrome's match spec, so a Chrome extension to do that wouldn't work either. From the linked spec: Host permissions and content script matching are based on a set of URLs defined by match patterns. A match pattern is essentially a URL that begins with a permitted scheme ( http , https , file , or ftp , and that can

I am creating an Tampermonkey userscript that would automatically click the "star" button on Google Translate website and save my searches so that I can later view them and rehearse. This is the button that I am targeting: This is what I've got so far: // @match https://translate.google.com/#en/de/appetit/ var el = document.getElementById("gt-pb-star"); setTimeout(function(){ el.click(); },4000); I encountered 2 problems. @match should be every translate.google.com search and not just appetit. How do I specify the whole domain? I tried clicking the "star" button with click() method but it
