More GReader hacking — immersion 2008/02/11

First, some updates to readelicious. I worked in Mike Malone's patch to add a keyboard shortcut which I now can't live without. I also reworked some bits of it to interact nicely with the new script.

Immersion is another Greasemonkey script that will load the current entry as an <iframe> within Google Reader. I made this one almost exclusively to look at A Brief Message but it works just as well for leaving a quick comment since it doesn't interrupt your train of thought like opening a new tab does (I tend to forget new tabs until hours later).

Just like readelicious, immersion adds a link to each entry but also uses 'i' for keyboard access to the current entry.

hey is there anyway to add a background to the script, i love the transparency effect but its hard to read, a nice white background or 50% grey would be really nice

Uh I have a complaint, SIR. If I am "immersed" in something and hit 'i' again, instead of disappearing, it just adds another immersion window. Where are your UI chops, sir?
