Any userscripts working right for Iron?

I checked out Greased Lightbox, Adsweep, Google Search Results Sanitizer, but that was pretty much it.
Most of useful scripts would not work.
Anybody has any script that works for Iron perfectly?
Extension would be better though, yet there are just few of them.

hi ludi69, i was checking the greased lightbox script and i just wanted to ask if the keyboard shortcuts work for you. everything else seems to be working fine with iron 2.0.178.0 but most of the shortcuts do nothing. nice find btw.

messing with the user scripts i just noticed there is a newer version of the flash block script that i am using and a couple of scripts that i didn't notice before but seem to be working nicely with iron. maybe it would be a nice idea if someone could make a sticky with e list or something. so here is what i have:

AdBlock+
AdSweep
FlashBlock
Greased Lightbox
NoSpeedDial
oAutoPagerize

i'm new to iron and i can't say i have tested everything extensively, but these scripts seem to be working for me with iron 2.0.178.0. btw, i still don't get what the google search result sanitizer does and the description doesn't say much.

What the Google Search Result Sanitizer does is to remove google referer, which is for google itself to record your browsing history, from search result URL's. So that you can get direct link to the result, without delay caused by transition. But now I'm not sure if this is working or not.
I didn't even know that there were shortcuts for Greased Lightbox, I was just pleased that there're something work for Iron. Still it's fine, isn't it?
Well, now I'm thinking of making a userscript myself, before that I have to learn Javascript though.

And also take a look at Facebook Adkiller, it just works fine, well only if you do Facebook.

thanks for the info. i will leave it on for now and see if i can find more info about it when i have some free time. as for the lightbox script, the site does not provide much info on the functions, just the fact that there are shortuts for -, +, O, x, and the left and right arrow keys. the -/+ is for zoom out/in and it works even if i find it a bit annoying that you can zoom out with a single key but you need to use two keys (shift+= as for typing the "plus" sign) for zooming in. the x key is also working and is actualy closing the lightbox, the arrow keys don't work on my system but they are supposed to browse to previous and next images, and the O key is also not working and i have no idea about what it should do. like you said though, it still is fine and i find it very useful. I'm not using facebook so i haven't tried the facebook adkiller script, but it is good to know it works as it sounds useful for most people i guess.

You know what, keys work for me.
+, -, and x key. Is that O or 0? Either does not work on mine.
Probably it is because of other userscripts or extensions I guess.

hey ludi, it is not clear from their site if it's a 0 or O but i also tried both and it doesn't work. +, -, and x work on mine too, but not the left and right arrow keys. have you tried those at all?

Arrow keys aren't working on mine, either. I don't get why it is different from Greasemonkey.
Wasn't it just Javascript? Even sometimes the 'document.write' code wouldn't work.

even though i don't know much about javascript, i also find it strange that simple thinks like that don't work as expected in some ocasions. i'm sure there is a reasonable explanation about it but i wouldn't know anyway. btw, it seems that my list of scripts that work gets smaller again. the latest version of flashblock is causing iron to crash when i open some pages that contain flash objects, and adsweep makes heavy pages load even slower while attempting to block most of the ads. i'm not sure if this is iron or my configuration, but i already have some issues with pages that contain javascript and adsweep made it even worst so i had to remove it completely for now.

it is funny though, i found iron when i was looking for an alternative for firefox, not because i didn't like it, i was just tired messing around with all the available add-ons. and yet, here i am messing with userscripts.
