Hello

Did you get your enter-function to work? I tried the same approach as you but .trigger() never posted the input-string. I ran this with Greasemonkey. How do you run it?

@mhjortholt it work but it need to be keydown not keypress. And I run this script only for new games, then I wrote ajax based script which was much faster. I run from google inspector console.
