URL Flipper Description

Offers shortcut keys to increment and decrement numbers and strings in URLs URL Flipper is a Firefox extension which offers shortcut keys to increment and decrement numbers and strings in URLs for quick navigation through URL sequences.Don't extensions like this already exist?Yes, similar extensions do exist. First, there is Magpie, which was the extension that I was using before I wrote URL Flipper. URL Flipper was inspired by Magpie in the sense that it was modeled after Magpie and that it was written mostly to address a number of the bugs and shortcomings in Magpie's digit flipper tool. URL Flipper is also more fully-featured than Magpie. Finally, URL Flipper does not contain any of Magpie's media download tools, so it is designed for people who want a URL increment utility without the extra unrelated features.Another tool that is similar in function is the Location Navigator extension. I had considered using this extension instead of writing my own, but I had wanted more functionality (such as the ability to handle non-decimal input or mixed alphanumeric input) and I wanted that functionality to be presented in a simpler, less complicated way. In some respects, Location Navigator is more fully-featured, with toolbar buttons and options dialogs, and in some respects, URL Flipper has more fully-featured, with more robust data type handling. URL Flipper was consciously designed to be more spartan in its presentation: there are no toolbar buttons (it is designed to be invoked by keyboard shortcuts) and there are no options dialogs. URL Flipper is small in size and has a lightweight code base. This may appeal to some people but not to others. Requirements: · Mozilla Firefox What's New in This Release: · Improved the UI and behavior of the redirect suppression (the redirect suppression code developed for URL Flipper can also be found in the new NoRedirect extension). · URL Flipper will now remember all patterns, across different browser windows and sessions. · Arrow, directional and function keys can now be used for shortcut key sequences, and the default sequences have been changed to use arrow keys. · URL Flipper can now skip past bad/missing URLs, based on the HTTP response code of the request. · The URL Flipper toolbar buttons now support command modifiers: Alt+Click will attempt to suppress the pattern dialog, Shift+Click will force the pattern dialog to be shown, Ctrl+Click will invoke the action from the first index in the sequence instead of the current index, and a Middle-Click will perform the command in a new tab. · URL Flipper now supports SeaMonkey 2. · Improved the behavior and usability of the pre-selection feature introduced in 2.2.0. · URL anchors (#) are now ignored for URL pattern matching and identification.
