tridactyl VS Ditto

You can achieve this with native messaging [0] in tridactyl [1]:

It's really cool, I've added an option to open these windows in floating mode automatically in my sway config through another application name iirc. Ans then I press a simple shortcut, and it opens my editor (Helix) with the already entered text and once I close it, it'll transfer the text from that temporary file which was open in your editor to the the input field/textare again.

as a pentadactly widow, i would recommend to anyone that is coming back to firefox tridactyl https://github.com/tridactyl/tridactyl

is it the same? no.

but is it close? hell yeah. it really helps me with productivity!

> I can't even edit the code that is taking focus and hijacking shortcuts!

You can remove the shortcuts pretty easily with a userscript, see lines ~410-440 here for inspiration: https://github.com/tridactyl/tridactyl/blob/2eaba7e4ceec6de5...

Wait until you find out about Tridactyl [0], which, among a plethora of other features, can activate a command line where you can perform all these searches (for example, `:tabopen` will list and activate fuzzy search of all opened tabs).

You might be interested in using a browser plugin like Tridactyl instead, I’ve been using it for months now absolutely no complaints, no need to “simulate” the mouse anymore just use page hints to click exactly the html element you want to https://github.com/tridactyl/tridactyl

Nearly everything on reddit uses reddit-flavored markdown. Backticks for inline code, as you discovered, but indent code blocks with four spaces. I use a browser extension so that I can edit all my comments in Vim, so manipulating this markup, especially code blocks, is easy.

I use tridactyl but the limitation of firefox API prevents addon to even change the built-in shortcuts: https://github.com/tridactyl/tridactyl/issues/1428.

There are always going to be limitations to extension-based approaches but Firefox with tridactyl is most of the way there capability-wise IMO (https://github.com/tridactyl/tridactyl). I use that plus tree-style tabs and find it excellent. There's always some extensibility limitations that break the integration though, like extensions getting disabled on mozilla domains.

I love projects like nyxt and respect their priorities, but without big-player extension support it's usually a no-go for me. Still, I'll be interested to see the ideas they develop trickle out into the rest of the power-browser ecosystem. I especially like that lossless tree history – history management is a very under-explored UX area IMO

The most famous is the clipboard one (https://ditto-cp.sourceforge.io/). I'd be surprised if they were referring to another "Ditto" software.

Ditto works well for me. If you have a cloud based file storage service like Google Drive or Dropbox, put the ditto database file in that folder and you'll also have an auto backup.

In case you are not aware: https://ditto-cp.sourceforge.io/

For example: the wonderful Ditto Clipboard Manager is both an old-style .msi installer here https://ditto-cp.sourceforge.io/, but it is also on Crapstore here: https://apps.microsoft.com/store/detail/ditto-clipboard/9NBLGGH3ZBJQ?hl=en-us&gl=us

I highly recommend you use a clipboard monitor. I use Ditto (download link, Windows store link). It can help diagnose problems like this by letting you see the contents of the clipboard (using <`> after copying something.

I’ll use the opportunity to recommend Ditto. A great clipboard manager that also allows for easy pasting as plain text, white space removed, linefeed cleanups and more.

Looks like some sort of clipboard manager? I use Ditto, it's free I think and you can customize it to do all sorts of things with text/images you copy to the clipboard. https://ditto-cp.sourceforge.io/
