Your Insert text, i see it works on right click? And it inserts the whole string? I mean it's not Insert Text in the editor where you have a menu to choose text from, it actually inserts the whole list: blah<>blah<>blah<> ... Is that how it suppose to work?
NM! There's a dropdown ! ...
I'm not used to use dropdowns and didn't pay attention to that one, It's all good, grabbing it! Was using Odyseus button but it's just too much for me (as usual). Thank you very much!
Sonny, i can't get the button to work after restart. It inserts whatever i added yesterday, but just that, one line of text. Reinstalled, the same. I don't get tooltip anymore. Any click inserts text and i see no way to edit text. Oh, and there's no dropmarker today either (this might be due to my style but other buttons where dropmarker is needed do have it).
Edit: reinstalled again and now only Mclick inserts but other clicks are dead. Mclick actually inseert AND opens CB context menu.
OK, found extensions.custombuttons.insert_text0.list and edit with my saved from Clippings ext. text (it wasn't easy). Now i see the dropmarker and i see my text but! the menu is stretched in fulf screen width! Is there a way to wrap it into something readable? i have a couple inserts that are long if in one line, they have BBcode links and they stretch the menu.
NM, i styled it to 300px, it's all good now. However, is there an easier way to add text to it? I have a very long string and have to scroll all the way to the right to add something. I wonder if you can make it something like your filters work, for instance, on this site. Pop a dialog where you can add something already highlighted on a page too. And make it easy to delete an entry?
I don't understand the tooltip and confused with clicks. Today, clicking the dropmarker pops the Insert/Remove .... dialog and i can't get anything from my menu .... it blinks on for a second and disappears. What's going on with this button?
Aah, i think i know. Whenever i try to add something, it actually wipes everything, the whole existing string! even though it's not highlighted! It's a good thing i saved my string, 'just in case' 'cause it happen 3 times already.
No, i like the menu, it's easy to use but adding new lines isn't. I mean, i can use about:config, of course, just add whatever i need to my string (i saved it as a style for easy access) and change it in about:config/Restart. But adding highlighted text or manually in some dialog popup (like your extract scripts do) would be easier, i think.
OK, i see the menu problem. If a snippet starts with an url (like if it's a BBCode link, for instance, you see the link but really have no idea what this snippet is about. So, like the Clipping ext., might be a good idea to 'name' snippets optionally. That is, if a name is not entered, show the snippet as is, otherwise, show the snippet name. So, let's say i have a BBcode link to TMP dev.builds, instead of seeing:
[url=https:// addons.mozilla.org/en-blah/blah.............very long string here.................
i'll see just:
TMP dev.build ('cause that's how i'd 'name' that snippet).
You follow me? Here's Clippings ext., in case you'd like to take a look.
Sonny, did you update WF to 55? I can't, had to restore system to get 54 back. It totally screws my exts., addons manager doesn't load, etc. Big mess. I updated manually, will have to wait for the automatic update, maybe it will work then.
Yes, I manually updated to Waterfox 55.0.2 just fine. Have to disable Add-on Manager Fix until I can modify several files for it to function (Alex made some changes, as expected) and same with Stylish Editor. All my other Add-ons, Custom Buttons and GM Scripts work fine.
I see on the reddit a few posts with the same problems i had. Ales said he'll work on migrating profiles. I'll wait. I assume i';ll have to disable all exts. before updating and then reinstall/re-do their prefs. I think replacing prefs.js manually might have helped but i'm not going to experiment till he releases 55 officially. I have 5 additional profiles and all of them were broken, including my clean tester! The thing is, i couldn't even reset exts. 'cause i couldn't get to them - addons manager never loaded, Sessions Manager was out (lost all sessions till i restored 54), don't remember now were your vertical toolbar comes from but it jumped from the right to the left (i guess, needed to reset pres but, again, couldn't get to exts. and don't remember were it's coming from! Wait! It's from Customize palette, OK then). So, i wonder why some of us have problems but some do not.
What I did was to manually move (cut/paste) my profile from Mozilla to Waterfox (which now has it's own folder in your user profile). BTW, I fixed Stylish, as well, so the editor functions (will post later). Will be working on Add-on Manager Fix later. Edit: Or from your desktop, go into properties of the Waterfox icon and insert -P at the end of the Target textbox (Program Files\Waterfox\waterfox.exe" -P ) to create an new profile. Then copy/paste all the files from your previous profile into the new one. Then get the ext of the new profile (I named mine WF1), go back into properties of desktop icon and in Target textbox: Program Files\Waterfox\waterfox.exe" -P "WF1"
No, i'll wait for the official 55 release and hope he fixes all this migrating problems. When i did copy over my previous profile to the new, WF simply didn't even open. I won't experiment with it till i get a proper WF version. He'll have to fix it, we're not the only ones using it and migration is an important part of an update even a big one like this.
Will need to re-code the CB Insert Text button. I originally made it for my personal use to fill in Passwords and User Names on my banking sites (I'm lazy) and the rest. BTW, when you do get 55 up and running, I posted the fixed xpi's for Addon Manager Fix, Stylish2, Stylish Custom2 and Stylish Editor2 on my site.
Great, thanks! @ Insert button, don't bother if it's too much trouble. I still have disabled style with keywords and can edit it to change about:config string when needed. Just thought it might be easier to edit if it's a bit 'friendlier' but really no problem, i don't add snippets often now. The biggest problem with the button is that it doesn't 'name' or truncate entries. So, some of my lines are BBcode and start with a url, makes me stop and think what this snippet is about 'cause i can't tell just by looking at the url. Clippins has a field for a snippet name (sort of like a keyword thing). So, those long lines (actual snippet text to insert) is in one field and another field is for the name which is what you see in the context menu. If toy don't name a snippet, it will show the snippet text. Very convenient! Anyway, as i said, don't bother, i'm used to Clippings, have been using for ages, just thought it might be easier to use a CB and uninstall yet another ext.
OK, Insert Text CB button: http://custombuttons.sourceforge.net/forum/viewtopic.php?f=4&t=3622&p=10643 In the script, the pref.defaults contains a pref named count (default 50). That is a character count, which to set the textboxes to multilines, for your extended entries. Middle-click for editing entries and uses same <> for separators. CSS in the Help tab section. Let me know if you wish to add/subtract functions, for it is presently coded for basic operations. Also fixed the bug that was clearing your about:config list entries and can use escape key to close dialog as well. I use a 32px icon in the scripts Image textbox, at the top in base64 data, so it show as an 32px image in the Customize Toolbar Palette, but I have a boolean pref named icon16px (default is false), when set to true, will display an 16px icon on the toolbar. Set the count pref and icon16px pref in your about:config so you won't lose the setting on a button update.
Do i need to add <> with every entry or just my text? Another words, let, say i just want to add the word DONE, do i enter <>DONE<> or DONE? Esc key didn't close dialog but it's OK, i won't be using it anyway, i use the upper right corner icons as usual. Love that it's resizable and you can see whatever you need just by resizing the window. I like it! Thank you very much!
Yeah, dialog windows are more functional than popups. A single entry requires no separators. Example for two entries A<>B or for three A<>B<>C. Not at very beginning nor at very end, only in between multiple entries. Tip, you can apply a space at the end or beginning of an entry so when inserted, it doesn't jam up against the next or previous entry/word. Updated a minute ago to add some color to the dialog buttons. Don't know if you got the one with the Undo buttons? Separator symbols can also be changed if the current ones conflict with any of your entries.
Sonny, forgot, where did you post how AM works for copying ext. name? Remember i asked to make it possible to copy exts. names and you did something ... forgot what it is or where to find this conversation ....
OK, found it here. I see it does copy but i don't see the alert anymore although there's a tooltip which i didn't notice. And it copy the number only. And, of course, i forget that i have to click the number. The menu item is much better. Will have to wait for 55 to install it.
I seem to have lost my Styles Backup CB. Wonder if you can add it to the AMF.
EDIT: NM, it's in the Stylish button menu ... haven't i been through this before? I can't remember where this function is! ... guess need to use more often.

If still interested, I integrated the Move Toolbar Buttons, into my CB Button Utility button: https://sonco.synthasite.com/custom-buttons-►.php
