About
***This extension is no longer in active development. I do intend to come back to it at some point but I am very busy at the moment. Because of this the web server that host the list used for searching has been disabled so I have temporarily removed that feature from the extension.*** Adds features to xkcd comics. These include: - Keyboard navigation (including arrow keys) - Easy title text - Better random comic selection - A favourites list - A search function (removed but will be added again later) - A link to explain xkcd more detail about each feature can be found below. All features are toggle able through a pop-up settings page and all settings are synced across devices using chrome sync. Keyboard shortcuts: n -> next p -> previous r/space -> random e -> go to explain xkcd f -> add to favourites Arrow key shortcuts: right -> next left -> previous up -> random Easy title text: The title text that would normally be viewed by hovering over the comic is also displayed underneath for easy viewing. Better random comic selection: The random comic button will not take you to any of the last 1000 comics you have viewed on the device. Favourites list: All comics have a button added to add them to a list of favourite comics. This list can be viewed, accessed and edited in the pop-up. Added links: Options to make the pre existing URLs hyperlinks and add a link to explain xkcd and a 3D version (for comics before 880: Headache) Transfer or backup settings, history and favourites with the import/export page. For support contact me at [email protected] Some features have been disabled on some of the interactive comics to prevent problems with the interaction.
