K++

A userscript that adds some tweaks to Kongregate's chat

Features

1. Toggles chat width (enlarge/restore):

• automatically - at script execution (e.g. by clicking the bookmark if the script is run as a bookmarklet).
• manually - with the corresponding cog wheel menu entry

2. Adds a search bar (above chat) to search chat messages:

• matching messages get a pink background to facilitate recognition
• new messages that match the search criteria automatically get the pink background
• filter the user list by clicking the user button next to the search bar.
• Shortcuts when the cursor is inside the search bar:
  • Escape key - clears the search key and restores the list
  • TAB key - toggles between user filtering and search bar mode
• 'Room' chat has its own search bar

3. URLs in chat messages are automatically converted into interactive hyperlinks:

• click to open in a new tab

4. Optionally hides chat messages' timestamps or makes them visible when the mouse cursor hovers over chat messages:

• change mode via the corresponding cog wheel menu entry
• the mode is memorized in localStorage

5. Optionally saves 'Game' chat to localStorage every 8 messages and autosaves chat (if changed) after a configurable amount of chat inactivity time

6. Additional cog wheel menu entries:

• "Timestamps"
  • Set: Fixed (default)
  • Set: Dynamic
  • Set: Off
• "Toggle chat width"
