Foxed Search≡

Shaun has been busy again and has added great new language translation functionality to Shortwave.

“Shortwave has a new default trigger. The tr trigger is short for ‘Translate the current page’.”

Unfortunately, whilst the Shortwave Javascript bookmarklet will pass the currently viewed tab as a variable, Firefox’s built-in search function, and thus Shortwave Search does not have any such functionality.

I am exploring ways to try and overcome this limitation (if at all possible) — existing search capabilities are not affected however.

Gmail Bookmarklet≡

Noscope’s Joen has whipped up a nifty bit of bookmark code to make life easier in Gmail — a creative alternative to using the keyboard shortcut ‘c’ — which has additional mung-bean super powers as it doesn’t require that Gmail be the active page.

“Using Gmail daily, I’ve been wanting quicker access to the “Compose Email” area for a while now. So I concocted a deadly bookmarklet for doing just that.”
