[Feature request] Hotkey to toggle style(s) that match the rule for specific site or one-click extra button

[Kein]

Long story short I use Stylish as a toggle feature for a lot of junk UI items on Discord (just as an example), problem is - it is really annoying to click the button then click style checkbox when I want to bring up some of these elements.

What would be great: a hotkey or an ability to show extra bar button that just does this: enabled or disables (toggle) any matching rules for the site (or may be, if we look deeper, we can specify extra option for each style "Enforce on quick-toggle?")

I guess we can add:

• a hotkey in the style editor so that it toggles the currently opened style. And a tooltip over [x] enabled checkbox.
• a browser global hotkey to toggle all styles for the active tab

Thoughts?

Not sure what what you mean by "currently opened style", but more toggles and hotkeys are almost always a good thing. "Toggle active tab" is a no-brainer, and would be very useful. I'd also think "toggle all styles for current domain" would be useful and different, since presumably it wouldn't include global styles like active tab.

In general, it'd be cool to be able to assign hotkeys to specific styles, to toggle them individually.

currently opened style it's about the style editor. Basically this hotkey would toggle the [x] Enable checkbox. Am I that bad at describing things? :-(

[narcolepticinsomniac]

Since the only alternative is that I'm bad at understanding things...yes?? "Currently open in the editor". Yes, that makes a lot of sense and would be very useful. [x] enabled checkbox should've tipped me off, honestly.

[narcolepticinsomniac]

I don't know how straightforward what you have in mind would be, but if we ever did decide to add a ton of customizable hotkey options, maybe this project would be of interest.

[tophf]

I'm not sure we should use DOM key events. Currently our hotkeys are using chrome.commands API so it would make sense to add like 10 empty "slots" in that browser shortcut customization dialog, and a sub-page in OptionsUI to customize these "slots".

[narcolepticinsomniac]

Figured it might be worth mentioning. Personally, I'm not sure I would ever utilize a whole lot of hotkeys, but it's a fairly common request. I imagine hotkeys for toggling individual styles could add up pretty quickly for some users, if that's even going to be an option. I always kinda figured the chrome API would have restrictions on how many could be used, but I certainly don't know that for a fact.

[tophf]

Huh, chrome.commands API has a maximum of 4 hotkeys per extension. I still like the API more than DOM methods because it allows us to have a small content script, but anyway we'll see when we get to implementation stage.

#263 provides an alternative: you can set an activation hotkey in the extension options so it'll open the popup. Then you can toggle the styles by pressing the number keys. For example, Alt-Q and 1 will toggle the first displayed style. To make a style be the first one you can rename it locally in the editor to !something or 1:something and so on.

I think this can be closed?

I think the plan for this issue was:

• To create a shortcut key to toggle all styles in the current tab.
• Create a shortcut key to toggle the style from within the editor - toggle the [x] enabled checkbox & save.

The shortcuts to open the popup & toggle individual styles is available, but separate from this enhancement request.

• Create a shortcut key to toggle the style from within the editor - toggle the [x] enabled checkbox & save.

In the editor, you can press Alt + Enter to toggle the style. The UI is buggy though, it makes the editor state become dirty.

Ahh, I forgot about that!

#1579 mentions the same idea in more detail, i.e. I misinterpreted this issue initially, hence closing it.
