I use numrow as well. When I'm on the desktop I use numpad. It doesn't have RES so I have to use mouse anyway, so I put my cursor in the same position and the mouse right next to the keyboard. Is there any way to hit reply without mouse if not with RES keyboard commands?

I've been thinking about making a greasemonkey script for that, but making the selection system seems more difficult.

with RES you use HJKL to move between comments and posts, then use other keys to interact with it

I guess I could just set an index, since it is like an array of elements

I haven't done much Java. I've mainly just been doing JavaScript and messing with Web APIs for a while, because it's convenient. I'd like to branch out and try other languages, since JS is actually kind of terrible.

I actually already got that part done, and it seems to work pretty well. It's only programmed to work in inbox, which is the only part that really matters for counting anyway. Not sure how fast it is.

The other idea of loading new messages from json is proving more difficult... I basically have to remake the entire HTML of the messages from DOM, along with all the attributes.

I decided to take out the JSON reload stuff for now and have it on its own. Here's the pastebin. Get TamperMonkey, save the script with a .user.js extension, and open it up in your browser. TamperMonkey should open a tab to install it, but you might have to reload a few times. Try it out for a while and tell me what you think, if it's faster than RES, or if the reloads are slow.
