def.oc.us - a del.icio.us greasemonkey userscript · 2006-06-21

I created a del.icio.us GreaseMonkey userscript to set focus to the “Tags” textbox when I am tagging a site. I was getting annoyed having to take my hand off of the keyboard (and without pressing tab a ‘bunch’) every time I wanted to tag a site. Now, using the handy-dandy del.icio.us firefox extension, tagging a site is as simple as:

  1. Ctrl+Shift+/ “Tag this page” keyboard shortcut
  2. Type the necessary tags (this is where def.oc.us jumps in)
  3. Press Enter

Ah, sweet tagging bliss!

Well, not really. If I could find a tagging service that let me use spaces in my tags and that had a popup tagger, I’d be a happy man. Sadly, Ma.gnolia.com (and some others that allow spaces in tags) redirect me away from the page I am trying to view when I activate the bookmarklet. This drives me insane. Maybe I’ll create a Ma.gnolia.com bookmarklet that allows inline site tagging. Do you know of one?

Install all 6 fabulous lines of def.oc.us!

Update: I made the script a little more robust. It can now be used for any page on the delicious site. If there isn’t a text field with the id “tags”, the del.foc.us will gracefully terminate.
