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!

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 started using firedragon yesterday. it's great so far. that's not what this is about, but, probably has something to do with it.

Look at the steps inside https://github.com/dr460nf1r3/firedragon-browser/blob/master/.github/workflows/ci.yml

PS: I have the same issue with another program named Firedragon, the Firefox/LibreWolf fork for Garuda Linux, I have already talked with the developer about this issue. The main binary cannot work on other Linux distributions because the GLIBC version is not compatible. Any tips?

A fork of Librewolf that's less strict is Firedragon. If you want to stay within the Mozilla ecosystem but find Librewolf to be overkill, consider this alternative.

A less extreme alternative is Firedragon which I've heard good things about, but haven't used. The only downside being that I believe as of right now your only install option is compiling from source, or get it by running Garuda Linux. Not a big deal, but obviously less convenient than a binary or flatpak.

It comes with its own version of Firefox, called Firedragon, which is a fork of Librewolf with some enhancements.
