    Much better than the old definition of “region lock”, nice.

    HN isn’t a fan of the generated readmes though, though vibed software (thoroughly used) can be all good.

      it can also auto paginate for you, no need to keep hitting the hotkey every page. It can paginate by hotkey, xy point on screen or selector.

        But only you and your fingers (or voice!) can address that other glaring point that killed your other comments to the point only those of us with showdead in our settings will see them :)

        OK yeah seemed tedious so figured that must’ve not been the only way [probably if you handwrite you could clear that up beforehand]

    Also available natively to the OS (Windows) with PowerToys, if you want an alternative to a browser extension. One of the unsung heroes of that library.

    Jury is still out on which is more trustworthy handling any personal data, Microsoft or Google. Neither.
