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.

I use Just Read extension for rendering webpages in reading mode. In reading mode, you can right-click and copy everything on this site (or any site) one by one or all together.

Apologies if I misunderstood your needs, but I have used this readability extension on computers and it helped my focus and engagement. I did the premium to keep support the dev. Free version is there too. Good luck!! https://justread.link/ (It reminds me of the old “instapaper” reader.)

You should try out Just Read, it "makes it easy to view web articles in a more readable, attractive, and custom format - like a read mode, but better. It removes the distractions like ads, modals, and navigation from vision, letting the user just read the content."

I made a customizable, feature-packed reader mode that earns around that: https://justread.link/

It uses a pretty simple text selection algorithm I've developed through trial and error: https://github.com/ZachSaucier/Just-Read/blob/6dcb4f05b93287...

I don't know how it compares to Readability.js.
