Did some random stuff, finally made it work. Does not work on pdfs or other tabs.

how to set the line width?

Very simple and works, but keycode is hard coded! `if(event.keyCode == 192 && event.ctrlKey)` sadly, it seems noone has yet forked this and made it configurable.. on my german keyboard layout 192 is not grave accent, I have to press CTRL+ö ^^ javascript keycodes are different from linux kernel keycodes, which are different from x11 keycodes! to find the magic key for your layout you can use http://keycode.info/ ...
