So the current behavior of Mastodon is if you click the boost button it offers a popup box asking if you want to boost or quote-boost, and if you hold shift and click the boost button it boosts. I have no current plans to ever quote boost because that does not match how I use this website. I wonder if I could reverse that behavior. Click to boost, shift-click to get the unusual menu w/quote boost.
This isn't an option, right? Could I use Tampermonkey?
@mcc here's a jank solution, tested and works
```js
document.body.addEventListener('click', (e) => {
const btn = e.target.closest('button');
if (!btn) return;
if (btn.title == 'Boost') {
Object.defineProperty(e, 'shiftKey', {
value: !e.shiftKey
})
}
}, {
capture: true
})
```
that was fun to figure out, thanks for the nerd snipe.
Ideally you'd target the button with something better than the title property, especially for multi lingual. But whatever, i said it was jank.
If you have a fediverse account, you can quote this note from your own instance. Search https://mastodon.gamedev.place/users/SudoCat/statuses/115226093178817995 on your instance and quote it. (Note that quoting is not supported in Mastodon.)
