A “Quick Edit” bookmarklet to make changes to any web site

Thursday, May 12th, 2022 at 8:29 pm

Using the Quick edit bookmarklet you can make any web site editable. Drag it to your favourites toolbar, click it and you get into edit mode. You can edit, copy and paste, delete and anything else. Hitting `ESC` will end edit mode.

Quick edit in action - drag it to your toolbar, click it and start editing the page. Hitting ESC end the editing mode

You can use this to quickly edit web sites before taking a screenshot, for example.
