In February, Weston Ruter wrote a Greasemonkey plugin that shortens document titles when you’re browsing the ESV online. It’s handy if you have a lot of tabs open in your browser or if you use a clipping service like Google Notebook. Weston explains:
I wrote a user script (click to install) that shortens the document title to be as short as possible, so window titles and bookmarks are short and more manageable. The coolest part of the script, however, is that the document title changes as you select verses of text from the page! So if I’m reading Romans 5, and I select a portion of verse 5, the document title will become “Romans 5:5 (ESV)”. If I select a few verses, then it will become “Romans 5:5-8 (ESV)”, and it even works if the verses span chapters!
This script also greatly facilitates note-taking in Google Notebook. When we are reading from the ESV Online, and we want to note a passage, then we just select it with the cursor, and click “Note This” (made available by the Google Notebook extension). The selected text is then added to the selected Notebook and the title of the note is the same as the document title, which is the scripture reference of the selected text. It works great!
You’ll need the “Greasemonkey add-on for Firefox or the GreaseKit plugin for Safari/WebKit” to make this plugin work.
