Reddit Quick Access Buttons UserScript

This UserScript adds convenient buttons to the bottom-right corner of Reddit pages for quick access to your Saved Posts, Messages Inbox, and Export Comments. It also hides the "Advertise" button/link on Reddit.

Features

• Saved Posts Button: An orange button with a bookmark icon that links directly to https://www.reddit.com/user/me/saved.
• Messages Button: A blue button with a mail icon that links directly to https://www.reddit.com/message/inbox.
• Export Comments Button: A green button with a download icon that allows you to export your Reddit comments in Text (.txt), JSON (.json), or CSV (.csv) format.
• Fixed Position: Buttons stay fixed in the bottom-right corner as you scroll.
• SPA Aware: Designed to work with Reddit's dynamic navigation (Single Page Application behavior). It uses techniques like a global flag (@run-at document-start) and explicit button removal/re-creation to prevent duplicate buttons during page transitions.
• Handles Messages Page: Specifically waits for the full page load (window.load) on the /message/inbox page before adding buttons, addressing timing issues observed on that particular page.
• No Iframes: Uses the @noframes directive to ensure the script only runs in the main page context, preventing issues on pages that might use iframes.
• Hides Advertise Button: Automatically hides the "Advertise" button/link on Reddit using its ID.

Installation

1. Install a UserScript Manager: You need a browser extension to manage UserScripts. Popular options include:

   • Tampermonkey (Chrome, Firefox, Edge, Opera, Safari)
   • Violentmonkey (Chrome, Firefox, Edge, Opera)
   • Greasemonkey (Firefox)

2. Install the Script: Click the installation link below. Your UserScript manager should detect it and prompt you for installation.

   • Install Reddit Quick Access

   (Alternatively, you can manually copy the code from Reddit-Quick-Access.user.js and create a new script in your UserScript manager.)

Usage

Once installed, simply browse Reddit while logged in. The buttons should appear automatically in the bottom-right corner of the screen. Click them to navigate to your Saved Posts, Messages Inbox, or export your comments.

Export Comments

1. Click the green Export Comments button.
2. Select the desired format (Text, JSON, or CSV) from the menu.
3. The script will fetch all your comments and download them in the selected format.

Troubleshooting

• Buttons Not Appearing:
  • Ensure the UserScript is enabled in your manager.
  • Check the browser's developer console (F12 -> Console) for any errors related to the script.
  • Reddit UI updates can sometimes break UserScripts. Check if there's a newer version of this script.
• Duplicate Buttons (Should be fixed): This script includes several measures to prevent duplicates. If you still see them, ensure you have the latest version and that no older versions or conflicting scripts are running. The @noframes directive and the global flag check are key.
• Export Fails: If exporting comments fails, ensure you are logged in and try again. The script retries failed requests up to three times.
