[Greasemonkey] load a script via keypress

[Brendan J]

I have been looking for a way to use GM script to access local PC content,
and sadly I think this is more of the same limitation of GM.  I suppose if
you make a script that loads up another script via GM_xmlHttp and then load
it that could work, but as far as loading another script on your PC, I think
thats kinda outside the security limitations of GM as of yet.  If it is not,
and I'm just talking out of my butt, please tell me how to do this, as I
would really like to be able to access and even write to local PC files.
