Latest version
Version 1.7.1
Released May 9, 2026 - 54.35 KBWorks with firefox 58.0 and later- FIX: Yield bare-letter shortcuts on Gmail and similar sites when the page's reaction is a selection toggle (e.g. Gmail's 'x' to mark a conversation, 's' to star). The 1.7.0 yield only covered shortcuts that changed focus, URL, or dialog count, so toggle-style shortcuts were missed and TypeReady stole focus to the search box.

Version 1.7.0
Released May 9, 2026 - 53.33 KBWorks with firefox 58.0 and later= Version 1.7.0 (May 9, 2026) =
* Improvement: Detect when another extension (e.g. Video Speed Controller) handles a bare-letter keypress on the page and yield those keystrokes instead of stealing focus to a search box. Detection observes side effects on the page's video element (rate change, currentTime jump, controller visibility flip), so it works regardless of how the other extension's keys are bound.
* Improvement: Extend the same yield mechanism to a built-in list of shortcut-heavy sites (Gmail, Google Calendar, Twitter/X, GitHub, Linear, Slack, Discord, Notion, Todoist, Asana, Trello, Figma, Reddit, Hacker News). On those sites a bare letter that the page itself acts on (Gmail's j/k row navigation, Calendar's view-switch keys, compose/command-palette shortcuts) is yielded; keys the page doesn't bind still focus the search box.
* Improvement: When TypeReady does move focus on a bare-letter keypress, the typed character is now inserted into the newly-focused input so no keystroke is lost.
* Improvement: Add a "Yield to other extensions' hotkeys" toggle (on by default) under both global and site-specific settings.Source code released under All Rights Reserved
Version 1.6.0
Released May 7, 2026 - 44.08 KBWorks with firefox 58.0 and later= Version 1.6.0 (May 7, 2026) =
* Improvement: Skip inputs that look real but can't actually receive typing (pointer-events: none, caret-color: transparent, disabled, inputmode=none, aria-disabled, aria-hidden, closed details, and similar).
* Improvement: Leave the keyboard alone when focus is on a dropdown, menu, listbox, tree, grid item, or other ARIA widget that handles keys itself.
* Improvement: Recognize role="textbox", role="searchbox", and role="spinbutton" as already-typeable, so TypeReady doesn't redirect focus when they are focused.
* Improvement: Respect site-defined data-hotkey shortcuts (e.g. GitHub's "/" search and "g i" navigation chords) so the page can register its own keys without TypeReady intercepting.
* Improvement: Don't yank focus out of design tools, spreadsheets, or other role="application" widgets when the user presses Ctrl+A.
* Improvement: Log every focus action to the console with a "TR:" prefix so it's easy to see where focus went without flipping a debug flag.
* FIX: Avoid a JavaScript error on pages where SVG elements appear in the ancestor chain when checking if an input lives inside a popup.Source code released under All Rights Reserved
