[Greasemonkey] load a script via keypress

[Bill Donnelly]

You pretty much have to do local file access via an extension.

There are good examples of how to do that in the downThemAll,
Image Toolbar and jsLib Lite extensions.

And you can always use the GmScript to Extension Compiler.

And/or add it in to Gm as additional functionality, but there are
fairly potentially dangerous security issues, especially if it's not
done correctly. And maybe even if it is done 'correctly'.

I've thought about using the jsLib sound library module to add
sound features to Gm. (basically, play a .WAV, or .MP3)
