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?
