I’m impressed by your coding abilities - you developed this feature in less than one day! I’ve tried it and works like a charm. Thank you!

Thanks for the props, although I must confess I used 95% recycled code from other projects.

Additional suggestions for this tool (hopefully they are technically feasible):

1. Possibility to set a course and lesson as default, so that you don’t need to select it on each browser tab separately.

2. Enable a keyboard shortcut to automatically append the highlighted sentences under the default course/lesson.

Thanks!

Possibility to set a course and lesson as default, so that you don’t need to select it on each browser tab separately.

Tough to do on Firefox. Chrome has browser synced settings but Firefox relies on local-storage which is webpage specific.
An upside is if you frequent the same websites the settings will start to persist.

What I can do for you is add some commented out code lines at the top of the script.
You would just need to open the file, remove the // from the front of dedicatedLanguage/LessonId and set those values to whatever you want.

Sounds good

[malaga.1979]

Thanks, but no need to add additional code: selecting the course takes literally a couple of clicks, so no biggie.
