Thanks @karlicoss for this extension. After finding it mentioned on reddit I've been a happy user for almost 20 minutes!
I had recently discovered Firefox's "unified" way to configure shortcuts for all extensions, including this one. Access is quaint: right-click an extension button (such as grasp) > Manage Extension > click the gear icon at top right "Tools for all add-ons" > select Manage Extension Shortcuts. Hopefully you find grasp with both of these:
- Quick capture: url, title and selection
- Capture page, with extra information
Cheers!
@petr-tik thanks for the SurfingKeys mouse-independence suggestion too.
from grasp.
Latest Firefox (67) finally allows configuring the shortcuts, so this is not a problem anymore! However, you can't override default keybindings, so perhaps making Ctrl-Alt-C and Ctrl-Alt-Y as default makes more sense..

Thanks for the awesome extension. A friend of mine has been banging on about how amazing org-mode is and I wanted to start using it from my firefox locally.
+1 on this issue and a further feature request.
I would like to select some text on the page, then press Ctrl-Alt-Y and prepopulate the comments section in the grasp note with the selected text.
Even better if I can use SurfingKeys to select some text, instead of using a mouse (come as close as possible to emacs - mouseless).
Not sure how easy it is to make 2 extensions play friendly though. Otherwise, I can use SurfingKeys to select and copy text to clipboard and then ideally use a key binding to pre-populate a grasp note with text from the clipboard.
Is it possible to configure such key bindings? If so, please explain how and add to readme, so others can benefit too!
Thanks again

This already works!

This still doesn't - is that a use case that you are interested in at all and/or is it possible to implement?
from grasp.
@petr-tik so, the selected text gets captured already (see 'selection' here ), the comment box populates 'comment' filed.
Unless you want to edit the selection or interleave it with your comments?
from grasp.
You are right - it does.
I found one bug though. If I make several text selections on one page, press Ctrl-Alt-Y to capture them, the selections end up concatenated without a newline character.
If it's not too heavy duty, it would make sense to me to create a
#+BEGIN_QUOTE
#+END_QUOTE
block for every selection. I don't think interleaving my comments with selections/quotes is necessary, but I think it makes sense to save selections as quotes.
Can I do this with a different org-mode capture template or does it require changing the extension?
from grasp.
@petr-tik good catch! I've moved it in a separate issue.
