GitHub Quickview

Long pull requests are hard to move around in. Once a review has a few rounds on it, the tabs are far above you, the reply box is far below, and getting from one to the other means scrolling past everything in between. GitHub Quickview pins a small command bar to the bottom of every pull request. Conversation, Commits, Checks and Files changed stay one click away, and the bar adds the action that matters on the page you are actually looking at — jump to the comment box on a conversation, open GitHub's own review control on a diff, or return to the header. It is built for the keyboard. Every control leads with its shortcut, so the keys are visible rather than hidden in a help screen: • Option-C (Alt+C) — Conversation • Option-F (Alt+F) — Files changed • Option-M (Alt+M) — Comment • Option-T (Alt+T) — Back to top Shortcuts stay inert inside text fields, so they never fire while you are writing a review. The bar also shows how far through the page you are, as a small meter rather than a number you have to read. WHAT IT DOES NOT DO Quickview never posts, approves, merges or submits anything. It moves you to GitHub's own controls and lets you press them yourself. It requests no permissions. It makes no network requests, so there is no analytics and no telemetry. It stores nothing — no cookies, no identifiers, no settings. It runs only on github.com pull request pages and does nothing anywhere else. There is no account and no setup. Install it and open a pull request. OPEN SOURCE MIT licensed and dependency free, at around 900 lines of JavaScript and CSS. The whole extension is small enough to read before you trust it: https://github.com/yingzhox/github-quickview
