Reddit Comment Arrow (Chrome Extensions)

This is an extension for Google Chrome to add the loved skip-to-next-top-level-comment-button from the mobile reddit apps to the desktop (web) version of reddit.

The button will be positioned on the middle left side of the screen by default.

• Wait until top comments have loaded
• Click on the button to jump to the next comment
• Hold and drag (default 500 milliseconds) to reposition the button
• You can alter several options in the action menu of the extension. Just click on the icon in the extension popover.

  npm install

Locally

  npm run build

• Go into Chrome Extensions page, enable developer mode (in the top right corner) and load the extension via Load unpacked

Packaging

• In order for a successful packaging, the extension must be loadable after packing into a .crx file. This can be tested in Chrome with Pack extension from the Extensions page, which requires a zip file of the extension. You can create this zip file with

  After packing, the crx file will be located in the parent folder of the zip. Drag and drop this file into the Extensions page.
