Works as expected and is really useful. Just wanted a quick way to switch on and off.

I can't figure out how it works! It seems like a great extension based on the demo site but in't user intuitive. Could someone help me explain how to use the extension? Thanks1

Great idea from a hugely talented interactive media developer/designer, however the execution here is not what I was hoping for. If this extension is open source, will see if I can help to address some minor annoyances with it. The main gripe I have is that it cues when I select portions of text within input fields to be edited or copied, and so e.g. this has caused issues with Facebook chat if I want to select all and delete (happens often in cases where the question I am about to ask is answered before I send the question -- great minds think alike). Rating 5/5 because I'm not sure that other people would have this issue and I want to show some support for the developer. Hopefully the annoyances can be worked out! If not, it was free anyway so not really that worried about it.

Great job and would be perfect if there was an option to set the plugin disabled on some sites.

This tool is awesome! I use it in my classes, to just show what I want of a document. Is it possible to use 100% opacity and, most off all, the possibility of manually defining the space to show? Thank you!

I've always been in the habit of selecting text as I read it, this extension makes the experience almost perfect. Would be nice if there was an option to add a modifier key that would have to be pressed in combination with the mouse drag/double click to trigger it, as I've come across a few instances where it would be desirable not to have the extension kick in. Update: now has modifier key option, awesome!
