Actually, it works on any website. However, you are right about the Chrome thing. (for the moment at least - should be possible to port it to firefox)

Sorry for the not entirely accurate title, it's my first submission.

btw, I seem to have some problems with the HackerNews button - any tips on what I could be doing wrong?

Oh nice, but then I do not understand how it works. In a mail it could check the mail addresses to see which keys to use. How does it work for any text?

i always wanted something like that.

Well, you seem to overestimate the intelligence of my extension - it simply opens a JavaScript prompt to ask you ^^

This looks great. Could you give some build/install instructions? 'build.sh' tries to cd to the non-existent "firebreath-1.6/build" directory.

Ah, sorry. The plugin is based on FireBreath, so you need to download and compile that. I'll fix up the build script so it checks for that.

edit: It should work now. If it doesn't, just email me.

Ever since I stopped using Thunderbird and Enigmail, I felt like I was missing something. So today, I finally started to develop my own solution - can't have them read our mails, now can we?

I don't suppose you're working on a Gmail/Chrome extension? Because I've been looking for one of those for years.
