Reddit Quick Access Buttons UserScript

This UserScript adds convenient buttons to the bottom-right corner of Reddit pages for quick access to your Saved Posts and Messages Inbox.

Features

• Saved Posts Button: An orange button with a bookmark icon that links directly to https://www.reddit.com/user/me/saved.
• Messages Button: A blue button with a mail icon that links directly to https://www.reddit.com/message/inbox.
• Fixed Position: Buttons stay fixed in the bottom-right corner as you scroll.
• SPA Aware: Designed to work with Reddit's dynamic navigation (Single Page Application behavior). It uses techniques like a global flag (@run-at document-start) and explicit button removal/re-creation to prevent duplicate buttons during page transitions.
• Handles Messages Page: Specifically waits for the full page load (window.load) on the /message/inbox page before adding buttons, addressing timing issues observed on that particular page.
• No Iframes: Uses the @noframes directive to ensure the script only runs in the main page context, preventing issues on pages that might use iframes.

Installation

1. Install a UserScript Manager: You need a browser extension to manage UserScripts. Popular options include:

   • Tampermonkey (Chrome, Firefox, Edge, Opera, Safari)
   • Violentmonkey (Chrome, Firefox, Edge, Opera)
   • Greasemonkey (Firefox)

2. Install the Script: Click the installation link below. Your UserScript manager should detect it and prompt you for installation.

   Install Reddit Quick Access

   (Alternatively, you can manually copy the code from Reddit-Quick-Access.user.js and create a new script in your UserScript manager.)

Usage

Once installed, simply browse Reddit while logged in. The buttons should appear automatically in the bottom-right corner of the screen. Click them to navigate to your Saved Posts or Messages Inbox.

Troubleshooting

• Buttons Not Appearing:
  • Ensure the UserScript is enabled in your manager.
  • Check the browser's developer console (F12 -> Console) for any errors related to the script.
  • Reddit UI updates can sometimes break UserScripts. Check if there's a newer version of this script.
• Duplicate Buttons (Should be fixed): This script includes several measures to prevent duplicates. If you still see them, ensure you have the latest version and that no older versions or conflicting scripts are running. The @noframes directive and the global flag check are key.
