Userscript to Submit posts & comments with Ctrl + Enter (you can use it with Tampermonkey / Greasemonkey)
Decided to make a little script that listens to textareas in post & comments, and if you press Ctrl Enter while focusing on them, it submits them. I use this to post comments faster and with less bother. It's reminiscent of the RES feature to do the same thing.
If you use Greasemonkey or Tampermonkey, you can install this easily and instantly have CtrlEnter to submit. Let me know any improvements I can make.
