Better-osm-org: a script that adds useful little things to osm.org

QuickLook for simple changesets

Improved history tab

Hotkeys

Big appreciation from my side I’m using your script some weeks now and don’t want to miss it! Thank you

Wow, looks like some really useful features. I have to see how this changes my workflow.

I have one question about settings. How to enable/disable the dark mode of the map? Using Firefox on Linux with Violentmonkey, I do not find the settings. Probably I am just too dumb or blind. Would someone please point me to the script settings, please. Thanks a lot.

Never mind I found them. The script was working without the need to enable it manually, but the settings were disabled.

This is strange… By default, the script should not change the dark theme in any way.

Just in case, I’ll add screenshots of where to find the settings:

Thanks for making this - I’ve been using it for about a month, and I’m really grateful! I find the changeset diff features very useful.

Apparently, it did. E.g. all the extra buttons and highlighted changes in CSs and object history tabs were present but the settings were missing. Though, I cannot reproduce it anymore.

Anyway, it is working now and I use it a lot. Many thanks,
