This is so nice to find this. Especially trying out a lot of experimental software.  This really should be stickied so everyone can find it. Thank you, thank you, thank you.

Great idea! Did not work for my only unkeyed source (opera) sad Guess should get my lazy ass moving and fix that myself smile

BTW: I had pains to copy-paste your code from this code-box. Embedding it in a quote would make that more convenient.

I definitely needed this.  I've been having fits for MONTHS.

I really need to learn to STFW when I have an issue.
