I have created a Greasemonkey script to enable saving documents in MODx via the keyboard. Once installed, you can use Alt-S on Windows, Control-S on Macs, to save your document, snippet, chunk, etc.
About Greasemonkey
Greasemonkey is a Firefox extension that lets you add user scripts to a web page that modify the page (its look or content or interaction). Using Greasemonkey to enhance MODx means your site files are 100% untouched. There’s no "hacking" the system. Everything happens on the browser side before the page is rendered. A 10 second install and you’re done, and you can disable the functionality with the click of a button.
To use the script:
Install Greasemonkey:
http://greasemonkey.mozdev.org/
Install the script:
http://www.sparkplug.com/greasemonkey/modx_save.user.js
It should just work. However, if you have somehow changed the name of your "manager" folder (i.e. you access the admin interface with something other than
http://www.yoursite.com/manager) you will need to alter the list of included pages. In Firefox, choose Tools > Manage User Scripts... and change the Included pages to something like */name-of-your-admin-folder/*.
Questions? Problems? Suggestions? Complete system meltdown? Let me know.
I’ll be very curious to find out if this works for people.
