@IsaacMoses that could get in the way on some sites, as Hod noted. @HodofHod, does the structure allow for personalized whitelists and/or an "everywhere" option? I ask because you have settings at all (for layout), not to request a messy feature. :-)

@MonicaCellio Kinda, but not really. A userscript has to declare what sites it wants to run on in the top of the file. Right now, that's limited to MY, BH, HB, and Chat. If someone wanted it to run anywhere, they could modify the declaration to include all sites (@match http://*/* )

Problem is, the keyboard was developed on SE, and running it elsewhere may cause CSS or JS conflicts, it may put the button in weird locations (e.g., on jsfiddle.net).

...and other things that I can't think of right now. I tried it on a few sites just now, and it looks like it would at least need some CSS tweaking before it could be used elsewhere.

@HodofHod oh right! I should have remembered that. I agree that you shouldn't make it global (I sure don't want to deal with those conflicts), and there's a way for people who want a global script to do that so I think we're good.

So what's the deal with Hirhurim?

@double aa...

@msh210 sorry about the wrong edit

@DoubleAA Dunno, but it's a shame that all the links thereto are now broken

e.g. judaism.stackexchange.com/a/3250/2

... and FIXED!

@DoubleAA you know where the gamoro is with regards to it saying that we can hold like beith shammai over beith hillel?

R' Rakeffet is listed among the contributors! Looking forward to his contributions

@IsaacMoses on dam vs. dam? No problem. Obviously, my intent was unclear, and your edit helped me realize I need to clarify it, so thanks.

@DoubleAA i found it nm

@IsaacMoses I see you're a Retainer. Sorry to lower your batting average.

@msh210 Lo heivanti

@MonicaCellio So I had turned it on for everywhere just to see what it looked like, and then forgot to turn it off. It does some seriously wacky things on any website that uses classes named "row" or "first" through "fifth". I should probably fix those anyway. Wouldn't want it to conflict with any SE changes/subpages, or anyone elses userscripts.

@HodofHod laugh Yeah, that's probably for the best. Maybe namespace it all, so to speak (I know JS doesn't really have namespaces, but there's no reason you can't name your public-facing names things like kbd.hebrew.row, or whatever.

@MonicaCellio Right. Some of it is already (hbkeyboard, hbkey) , but I really should change the rest. Next update!

@HodofHod yeah, whenever. :-) You might want to think of a single prefix for all your entities (if there are multiple layers after that that's fine); that way if you ever do find a collision, it's easy to make one global change to that prefix. (Defensive programming - it's not just for coworkers any more. :-) )

:D

@MonicaCellio @HodofHod hodofhod will have a low collision likelihood, I think.

@msh210 true. :-)

Hm. Starting all my classes and ids with hodofhod- feels strange.

@IsaacMoses Retainer -- on a committee of Retainers and Recruiters, per a recent e-mail I got from a committee of Strategic Planners.

maybe hod²

Lets see someone collide with that!!

@HodofHod yeah, about that low-order-ASCII thing... :-)

@MonicaCellio snook.ca/archives/html_and_css/unicode_for_css_class_names

It could work!! (What's low-order-ASCII?)

I wouldn't recommend it for a webpage, there's a lot more going on there. But for a single-purpose userscript, it could be useful.

@HodofHod oh. *blink*I didn't realize.

@HodofHod basically the stuff you can type on a regular keyboard without weird control sequences or the like. You know, the stuff programmers like 'cause it's easy and fast. :-)

@MonicaCellio I've never heard of the "low-order" thing before, is all

@HodofHod I'm not sure where I heard that.
