Bookmarklets

This is a list of bookmarklets that are convenient for use with Charcoal.

WARNING

Prior to copying and using any of the bookmarklets here:

Verify the history of this page and who edited it. If you don’t trust the editors, don’t trust the bookmarklets.
If you know JavaScript, it’s a good idea to double-check the code.

Clicking on a bookmarklet runs JavaScript in the current page. That means it’s possible for the bookmarklet to do anything that code in that page can do. Thus, there are significant security concerns for bookmarklets and you need to trust the bookmarklet code. As things are currently set up, changes to this page are not secure, so you need to verify that the code hasn’t been nefariously changed.

What are bookmarklets

Bookmarklets are relatively small amounts of JavaScript code that are stored in a browser bookmark. When the bookmark is clicked, the JavaScript is run in the current page. The advantages of using a bookmarklet, rather than a userscript include:

Can be used in all browsers, even when the browser doesn’t support browser extensions. Creating the bookmarklets may be inconvenient in some browsers.
Can, usually, be used in browsers/machines where installing browser extensions isn’t permitted (e.g., some work environments). You should check the policies for where you are to be sure that having a bookmarklet doesn’t violate the policy.
Can be used on almost all webpages, without the need to have a userscript or browser extension loaded into the page every time (i.e., They consume no resources and present no security issues, until activated by the user’s click on the bookmark.).

Two searches for the difference between two watchlist/keyword blacklist entries

The following bookmarklet will open two searches on MS to get the differences between two watchlist/keyword blacklist entries. The searches will be the relative complements of the hits for the two entries (i.e., one window showing what’s caught by the first entry, but not caught by the second entry; and one window showing what’s caught by the second entry, but not caught by the first entry).

The bookmarklet will prompt you for both a description for each entry and the entries (i.e., the prompts are in the order description 1, entry 1, description 2, entry 2). The descriptions are used in a regex comment, so it’s easier to know which window is which. The descriptions are not permitted to be blank, nor to include “(“ or “)”.

    function openSearchForText(text) {
        const searchTerm = encodeURIComponent(text);

This will open a new tab with a search for SE account usernames which match the selected text. The search ignores upper/lowercase.

SEDE typically doesn’t keep you logged in, so a CAPTCHA has to be filled out for each search. In order to avoid needing to fill out the CAPTCHA, this bookmarklet will first open another page on SEDE, which will cause you to be logged back in, if you were previously logged in. It will then open the SEDE username search with the selected text.

It only looks at the username on the user’s SE account, which means if the user is using a matching username on a site, but not on their SE account, that will not be detected.

Create “Sill alive” message

the following bookmarklet will create “still alive” messages.

To use it, click “reply” to the SD message containing the report for the post you’re wanting to post a “still alive” message for and then activate the bookmarklet (i.e. activate the bookmarklet when there’s just the “:" text in the chat input area):

javascript:void((function() {
    const input = $('#input');
    function addStillAliveToInput(msHref, siteHref) {
        if (msHref && siteHref) {
            const stillAliveText = `[Still alive](${siteHref}) \\[[MS](${msHref})]`;
            input.val(currentInputValue + stillAliveText);
        }
    }
    const currentInputValue = input.val();
    const messageId = Number(currentInputValue.match(/\d+/)[0]);
    if (messageId) {
        const replyToContent = $(`#message-${messageId} .content`);
        if (replyToContent.length) {
            const msHref = replyToContent.find('a[href*="erwaysoftware"]').first().attr('href');
            const siteHref = replyToContent.find('a[href*="/q/"],a[href*="/a/"],a[href*="/questions/"],a[href*="/answers/"]').first().attr('href');
            addStillAliveToInput(msHref, siteHref);
        } else {
            $.get(`${window.location.origin}/message/${messageId}?plain=true`).done((response) => {
                const [, msHref, siteHref] = response.match(/\(([^)]+?erwaysoftware[^)]+)\).*?\(([^)]+?\/(?:a(?:nswers)?|q(?:uestions)?)\/[^)]+)\)/);
                addStillAliveToInput(msHref, siteHref);
            });
        }
    }
})())

Minimize metasmoke search URL and escape characters

On a metasmoke search page, this will minimize the current page URL and escape the URL so it can be pasted into chat. The result will be copied to the clipboard.

javascript:void(function() {
    const result = location.href
        .replace(/(?:^https?:|&\w+=(?=&|$)|&commit=Search|&user_reputation=0\b|&user_rep_direction=(?:>|%3(?:E))%3(?:D))/g,'')
        .replace(/\?utf8=%E(?:2%9)(?:C%9)(?:3&)/,'?')
        .replaceAll(')','\\)')
        .replaceAll('(','\\(')
        .replaceAll('[','\\[')
        .replaceAll(']','\\]')
        .replaceAll('"','\\"')
        .replace(/^\/\/metasmoke/, '//m');
    const resultInTextArea = '<textarea>' + result + '</textarea>';
    const textarea = $(resultInTextArea).appendTo(document.body);
    try {
        textarea[0].select();
        success = document.execCommand('copy');
        if (!success) throw 1;
        confirm('Copied to clipboard:\n\n' + result);
    } catch (e) {
        alert('UNABLE TO COPY to clipboard:\n\n' + result);
    }
    textarea.remove();
}())

Translate selected text on Google Translate

A new tab will be opened to translate the selected text on Google Translate. Note that this will put the untranslated text as part of a URL in your browser history.

javascript:(function(){

    var text = "";
    var activeEl = document.activeElement;
    var activeElTagName = activeEl ? activeEl.tagName.toLowerCase() : null;
    if ((activeElTagName == "textarea" || activeElTagName == "input") &&
        /^(?:text|textarea|search|password|tel|url)$/i.test(activeEl.type) &&
        (typeof activeEl.selectionStart == "number")
    ) {
        text = activeEl.value.slice(activeEl.selectionStart, activeEl.selectionEnd);
    } else if (window.getSelection) {
        text = window.getSelection().toString();
    }
    window.open('https://translate.google.com/#auto/en/' + text);
})();
