| | |
| == The Monkey ==
| |
| | |
| Early versions of [[Greasemonkey]] provided an image of a monkey in the status bar.
| |
| Clicking on the monkey would toggle the global enabled status of [[Greasemonkey]].
| |
| When enabled, the monkey is displayed in color; when disabled, it is greyed out, and no [[user script]]s will run.
| |
| | |
| == The Menu ==
| |
| | |
| [[Image:Monkey-menu-0.8.4.png|left|frame|GM "Monkey Menu"]]
| |
| | |
| Later versions of [[Greasemonkey]] added a menu to this, and it was dubbed the monkey menu.
| |
| This menu largely mirrors that menu which is available under the <code>Tools</code> menu.
| |
| | |
| The <code>Manage User Scripts...</code> menu item will open the [[Greasemonkey Manual:Manage Dialog|manage dialog]] as described earlier.
| |
| The <code>New User Script...</code> menu item is used to ''write'' a new user script, from scratch.
| |
| It is described in more detail in the [[Greasemonkey Manual:Editing#New User Script|editing]] section of this manual.
| |
| | |
| This menu provides a list of the scripts whose [[include and exclude rules]] match the current page.
| |
| Each script listed here functions as a checkbox control, and the scripts can be individually enabled or disabled by clicking on them here.
| |
| | |
| The monkey menu also adds a menu item to explicitly display, as well as control, the global enabled status.
| |
| | |
| === User Script Commands ===
| |
| The <code>User Script Commands...</code> sub-menu lists the menu items for individual scripts which have been added via the [[GM_registerMenuCommand]]. The presence and/or contents (as well as the possible actions) of this sub-menu depend completely on which scripts have been installed.
| |
| It is common for this sub-menu to be unavailable and greyed out.
| |
| | |
| == Shortcuts ==
| |
| | |
| There are a few other "hidden" shortcuts in the monkey menu.
| |
| First, a middle-click (the scroll wheel usually functions as a middle button, if the mouse has one) on the monkey icon will open the [[Greasemonkey Manual:Manage Dialog|manage dialog]].
| |
| Second, a right-click on a script in the list will fire up the text editor (see the edit button in the "Manage Dialog" section) on the script that is clicked.
| |
| | |
| These shortcuts (especially the latter) are designed for advanced users. However they can be very handy!
| |
| | |
| == No Scripts Installed ==
| |
| | |
| It's possible for the monkey menu to show "No Scripts Installed!" even when there '''are''' scripts installed.
| |
| This is an issue of semantics.
| |
| The monkey menu displays only scripts that run on the currently visible tab, and this message is shown when no scripts match that criteria.
