I'm looking into creating a custom keyboard shortcut for myself browsing reddit.
My plan is to create an event listener to listen for a certain key chord and then toggle a switch in RES. I haven't been able to find a way to "inject"(not sure if I'm using the right word) when I load Reddit.
I would like this shortcut to toggle the Nightmode(or other switches) on keypress.
I found out a way to do it using a Chrome extension called "Tampermonkey".
Here's the code I used:
var eventUtility = {
addEvent : function(el, type, fn) {
if (typeof addEventListener !== "undefined") {
el.addEventListener(type, fn, false);
} else if (typeof attachEvent !== "undefined") {
el.attachEvent("on" + type, fn);
} else {
el["on" + type] = fn;
}
}
};
(function() {
eventUtility.addEvent(document, "keydown",
function(evt) {
var code = evt.keyCode,
shiftKey = evt.shiftKey;
//Shift Key + N
if (shiftKey && code === 78) {
if(document.getElementById('night mode')){
document.getElementById('night mode').click();
} else {
document.getElementById('RESSettingsButton').click();
var toggleFilter = function() {
document.getElementById('night mode').click();
};
setTimeout(toggleFilter, 50);
}
}
});
}());
