##SEChatModifications Provides keyboard shortcuts and other commands via input text reducing the dependency on mouse usage. Currently the script adds the id to the right of each message and the commands take in this id to identify the selected message. Keyboard navigation support is also planned.

##SEModifications Provides minor tweaks to StackExchange sites.

  • Adds a timeline link to each question page
  • Turns comment timestamps into links to the comment
    • Will only work if the comment is visible when the page is linked to (Unless you have this script).
  • Adds audit link to /reputation
  • Adds history link to each question and answer
  • Adds chat-like autocomplete for comments, in a way (relatively) consistent with these criteria
