It looks like that script waits for Firefox to automatically fill out the form fields, and then submits the form, so you could certainly adapt that for usage elsewhere.
Nothing to do with Platypus, though.
I guess you can use pretty much any javascript with Greasemonkey, so submitting forms is evidentally possible, but Platypus is 'just' a user-friendly interface for creating certain types of Greasemonkey scripts, and there's nothing in the Platypus interface geared towards helping you to automatically fill and submit forms.
You probably could still find a way to do it in Platypus, especially given the regexp replace options, but I feel it would be a whole lot simpler to just modify something like the existing script you have, than to try to approach it that way.

But how did Platypus evolve to this? :confused:

Does anyone know an extension to remove the "sponsored links" from (

You should definitely check out Aardvark... it's so much faster to use. About the only thing I keep NAE around for now is removing long links that have pushed a forum entry too wide.
FWIW, I simply removed all instances of the PDF plugin from my system (I can't imagine
ever wanting a PDF to load within a web browser). This would certainly be useful if you don't have control over the PC you use, though.
Awesome! Thank you!

Sick of having hotkeys overwriting one another, I just looked for and (thankfully) found another must-have for people in this situation: (
http://mozilla.dorando.at/readme.html) keyconfig
It lets you change, disable, or add new hotkeys. You can sort the list of keys+functions by key in order to view all the clashes. Very very handy.
It seems to not be an official entry at the Mozilla site as of yet (although a related extension is there), however I used this guy's miniT extension for ages with no issues, so I feel fairly confident.
Along with the previously-mentioned "Menu Editor" (or perhaps "Menu Manipulator" from the same page as keyconfig, although I've not tried that one) you can regain control over your (extended) interface.

Is this the way to get back the ctrl-T even when a flash-junk is in focus?
Shadowcat on 5/4/2006 at 08:22
Probably not -- if the flash has grabbed full keyboard focus, then I think you're probably stuck with using the File menu (or double-clicking the tab bar, or clicking on another tab first and then using ctrl-T, etc).
Can this ever happen without you intentionally interacting with some flash? I hope not. In any case, I certainly recommend using NoScript or FlashBlock to avoid loading any flash that you didn't want to see.
I've now restored the two shortcuts I had 'lost', and eliminated a bunch of other conflicts for the hell of it (usually an easy decision). Yay :)
If you want to add a hotkey for a function but can't find it, then search for keyconfig at the Mozilla site -- you'll find an extension which expands the number of functions that keyconfig has access to.
