Readable is written in ECMAScript, and how to launch it varies a little depending on browser. # Uzbl To use this from uzbl, add the following line to the config file (replacing 's' with the key to bind to): @cbind s = script file:///path/to/readable.js # Surf To use it from surf, add the following to script.js (replacing the keyIdentifier if you want to bind to a key other than Ctrl-S): (function() { document.addEventListener('keydown', keybind, false); })(); function keybind(e) { if (e.keyIdentifier == "U+0053" && e.ctrlKey) // ^s readable(); } /* copy readable.js here, removing the final line 'readable()' */ # Other browsers; 'bookmarklet' To use this as a 'bookmarklet', create a new bookmark with an address of: javascript:(function(){document.body.appendChild(document.createElement('script')).src='file:///path/to/readable.js';})(); Note that due to browsers being afraid of mixing local and remote files this may not work for http:// addresses. If this is the case, you can either run the script from a remote location (eg your webserver), or integrate it into a browser-specific extension.
