AO3 query

I've seen some reference somewhere to a "floating comment box" script for AO3, which makes the comment box hover so that you can copy/paste bits straight into a comment as you're (re)reading a story.

That sounds super helpful, now that I'm delving back into fandom with the current Guardian obsession and trying to leave feedback, but unfortunately I didn't bookmark it and I don't see it on the AO3 browser tools page either. Can anyone assist?

ETA: Found! And the script adds quote marks and italics to anything you copy/paste, which is fantastic.

It's here! https://ravenel.tumblr.com/post/156555172141/i-saw-this-post-by-astropixie-about-how-itd-be

(What I like the most about it is that it also adds a "jump to latest chapter" arrow to the main listing page for multichapter fic! I don't actually use the floaty box as much as I expected to, but I LOVE that feature.)

Ooo that's IT, thank you!! And the text you quote gets italics and quote marks? IS IT MY BIRTHDAY <3_<3

It's so great! ♥

For the "jump to last chapter" to work you need to be in "chapter by chapter" view. (This took me an embarrassingly long time to figure out.)

Also good to know: if you're using the "Kudosed and seen" script, that interferes with the comment box for reasons I don't understand at all. It will show up, but you can't use the insert button. So I keep having to turn "Kudosed and seen" off when I go to comment.

That's it I'll leave you to it enjoy (it's such a clever script!).

OH that's good to know, especially about the "Kudosed and seen" script, because I was just about to install that too. The chapter thing is also good to know but won't be an issue for me as I hardly ever read WIPs. Thanks!
