SE Modifications -- Username autocomplete in comments, inline revision source, and utility links

##Screenshot

Demonstration of comment autocomplete and post utility links

##About

This userscript adds four main features:

  • Various utility links on posts and in the top bar
  • Inline viewing of post revision source Markdown on the post history page
  • Links on comment timestamps for linking to specific comments (with enhanced "link-ability" for people with this userscript) (natively implemented now)
  • Username autocomplete in comments that's relatively consistent with these notification criteria (natively implemented now)

More information can be found in the SEModifications section of the README.

###Updates

  • 2011-09-17: Username autocomplete in comments is now a native feature. As it's currently only available on Meta, the userscript has been updated to check if the feature is enabled on the current site and will disable the userscript support if it is. Once the feature is deployed network-wide, the userscript will be updated to remove that code completely.
  • 2012-07-23: Updates to the share link on posts broke the script, please update to the latest version to resolve the issue.

###Download

install / update scriptview source

###Platform

The script should work under all major userscript-supporting browsers, though the autocomplete is designed with Firefox and Chrome in mind. Please file a bug if you encounter any issues.
