I love this concept: "There's also a slew of other shortcut keys you can use, depending on the page- just hit ? to see them."

Please, let this become a standard for every website, that '?' brings up a list of shortcut keys.

Edit: It works in Gmail!

I could be wrong, but I have been under the impression Google set that as a standard of sorts years ago, starting with GMail, and continuing with their other products. Pivotal Tracker has done it for a while, too. I think there are others, but I cannot recall what they are.

I press '?' on any site that I think might/should have keyboard shortcuts!

And Google news, docs, calendar. Not the Google search pages though, since key presses are intercepted by the search bar.

Personally, I dislike websites that try to grab my keys. I use pentadactyl/vrome, so if the website just lists everything I need to do there as a normal hyperlink, I need only hit f+number and I'm good to go. That isn't to say that it isn't innovative or cool. It's just not up my alley. I like to let local applications manage the keyboard.

So glad to see ignoring whitespace supported, I found myself needing this a lot.

I learned recently that you can also do this on the command-line with "git diff -b"
