piazza-shortcuts.js

Hotkeys and links to make catching up on Piazza posts easier.

• Shift+left arrow: move earlier in the history.

• Shift+right arrow: move later in the history (or jump to first unread follow-up if already at the end).

• Shift+up arrow: move later in the post list.

• Shift+down arrow: move earlier in the post list.

• Shift+meta+U: mark thread as unread.

• Shift+meta+X: unarchive thread.

• Shift+meta+alt+X: archive thread.

• Shift+meta+S: star thread.

• Shift+meta+E: start or stop receiving e-mails for the thread.

Known issues

Shift+meta+X doesn't reflect the fact that you unarchived the thread until you refresh the page.

piazza-themes.js

Allows "skinning" Piazza forums for individual classes. Handy if you're enrolled in multiple Piazzas. Particularly handy if you're a TA who posts announcements in one and a mild-mannered student in others.

To theme your classes:

1. Pull open the class forum in your web browser.
2. You'll see a url like /class/
3. Scroll to the updateTheme method and put in a check like this:

   if (window.location.pathname.indexOf('/class/<your-class-id>') > -1) {
       addTheme('<some-unique-name-like-your-class-number>', themes.jackets);
   } else {
       $('style.<some-unique-name-like-your-class-number>').remove();
   }

To change the current term (hiding older classes):

1. Scroll to the hideOutdated method and change the value of the term variable: var term = 'Fall 2017';

Note that dark themes look a little wonky at the moment and some are incomplete. Less eye-bleedy themes include: grass, lime, purple, orange, raspberry, grayscale.

Bug reports

Bug reports, feature requests and pull requests are all welcomed! New color schemes for piazza-themes.js are also particularly appreciated.

This repository should accept both bug reports and pull requests. SHOULD.

In the event that I've messed up the Github settings (likely), my GATech e-mail alias is "smiley".
