Goodreads: keyboard shortcuts for reviews

Lets you page through reviews with the "j" and "k" keys without reaching for the mouse.

Code to copy

// Press "j" / "k" to page through reviews, Backspace to go back
document.addEventListener('keydown', function (e) {
  var tag = (e.target && e.target.tagName) || '';
  if (tag === 'INPUT' || tag === 'TEXTAREA') { return; }
  if (e.key === 'k') {
    var next = document.querySelector('#reviewPagination a.next_page');
    if (next) { next.click(); }
  } else if (e.key === 'j') {
    var prev = document.querySelector('#reviewPagination a.previous_page');
    if (prev) { prev.click(); }
  }
});

Does this example work?

Snippets are useless without somewhere to paste them.

JustZix takes 2 minutes to install and runs your code on every matching page. No account, no payment.
