As of Sept. 5, using this script (and "Better Greader", which is a Greasemonkey-less way to get the same preview button). Disables the "Feed Settings..." dropdown. Presumably something changed in Google Reader and this script will have to be changed to accommodate it.

Awesome script!

It would be great that when using preview, the panel containing the post will expand down to the full height of the window and return to its normal size when preview is turned off.

I'm very like this script but it doesn't work for Safari 3.1.2 and GreaseKit.

Another vote for maintaining the ctrl-click functionality. If I'm in mode of burning through the feeds, I'll open things I want to read in a new tab. There are currently three controls that all behave identically: The title of the post, the >>, and the preview button. If you made the title behave "normally" it would solve the problem.

is it possible to make the iframe active once you preview the article?

Another vote for finding a way to keep sites from breaking out of the frame.

This will probably help: http://userscripts.org/scripts/review/12295

[I'm using this extension through the Better Reader add-on]. This is a really nice extension and a feature that Google should consider adding. But is there a way to temporarily suppress it (with a keystroke maybe)? Sometimes I want to open the article in a new tab in the background to come back to later. The normal cmd-shift-click [Mac] doesn't work. Right now I'm having to right click, select "Open in a New Tab", and then it's opening the new tab in the foreground. Any way to work around this?

Thanks

Any chance of getting this script working with Firefox 3.0 RC2 ?

This is a beautiful thing. The 'Shift-v' command is the cherry on top.

Julien,

I'm using this script in Better GReader.

It doesn't work nicely with the feed for http://www.dlisted.com/rss.xml

First, it will not display any pictures in a blog post. Secondly, when trying to preview the page within the frame, it loads briefly and then gives me a blank white page.

This is the only site I've found this to happen. Is this a problem with the script, or with the site itself?

I love this script! But I modified [shift-v] shortcut to [alt-enter] for easier use.

function handleKeypress(e)
{
// Handle an alt-enter keypress instead of shift-v
if (e.target.nodeName.toLowerCase()!='input' && e.altKey && e.keyCode==13)
{
previewShortcut();
e.preventDefault();
}
}

Thank Julien Carosi for this script.

@Julian (Apr 12, 2008)on 1.07g:
"Also fixes Shift-V shortcut."

Now Gmail shortcut '?' for help screen no longer works, all the other shortcuts still work. On my Swiss German keyboard '?' is entered as [Shift]-[single quote]. Could this be a side-effect of the Shift-V fix?

Doesnt work for FreakonomicsBlog feed. The blog opens as a complete window instead of a frame.

Great Work!!!

Thanks for the update.

I really love this Script!
Thank you!

Great Script! Thx!

The latest update (v1.07e) needs a tweak before it will toggle back to the original view.

Change line 221 of gpe.user.js to entryBody.style.display='block';

Thanks for the recent update. However, it introduced a regression: closing a preview doesn’t bring back the original content.

As for my wish list, in order of preference:

– fix the regressions (including Shift+V being broken)
– iframe auto-sizing. I think iGoogle has some code to do this, so you may want to look into how they do that. There’s also Bug 80713.
– Remembering which feeds should default to preview
– Prevent iframe escaping. Is a general solution for that even possible?

Nicely done - I appreciate this quick fix!
