Update: I just pushed out version 1.8.8 with a minor fix for some spacebar-in-forms issues. The download link and auto-update file have already been updated. Thanks to John P for the bug report!
This is relatively minor update for Instapaper Beyond, the Safari extension which gives you full Ajax loading and keyboard control over Instapaper. It does, however, have one very cool new feature, and one often-requested fix.
The new feature is type-ahead folder selection in the popup HUDs for Move To and Go To Folder…

This is a bugfix release of Instapaper Beyond for Safari which brings the version up to 1.8.6. It fixes a few visual glitches, but most importantly it restores the functionality of the text style menu at the top of a read page, allowing you to set and remember the font, size, width and line spacing of your text view.
I actually ended up rewriting the existing javascript as a module in Instapaper Beyond, so there’s the possibility of easily extending it to handle more options. Background color, more fonts, etc. We’ll see how far I get with that…

I’ve found a few bugs in Instapaper Beyond since releasing the Safari extension this morning. I’ve updated the extension to version 1.8.3, but I’m not convinced that my update manifest (the automatic update) is working yet. If you’re running into issues (the biggest offender being an error when closing the help menu), try downloading the latest version and installing it over the existing version.
You can download the current version here, and see the list of links in the series box to the right for further info and backstory on Instapaper Beyond.

Instapaper Beyond is officially available as a Safari 5 extension! For Safari users new to Instapaper Beyond, it’s an extension which adds full keyboard navigation and Ajax loading to Instapaper. For example, when the page loads, the first article in the list is highlighted. Using up/down arrows, or j/k, you can navigate forward and backwards. Right arrow or “o” will open an Ajax view of the article from which j/k will continue to navigate articles in text mode.
Pressing the spacebar in text view will page down 1 page (shift-space to page up), and at the bottom of a page, spacebar will load the next article…

Instapaper Beyond users will want to type “U” in their Instapaper SSB to update to version 1.4. It includes a minor update that improves bottom-of-page detection when using the spacebar.
Styled after Google Reader and others, when the spacebar is pressed at the bottom of an article, it loads the next article. I’m trying a better selector to detect the bottom of the page, which should prevent false jumps before you finish reading your article…

I just pushed out a fairly large update for Instapaper Beyond, my little userscript for Fluid which adds extensive keyboard navigation and additional functionality to the Instapaper website. I’ve been playing with it sporadically for a while now, and version 1.3 has a lot of new features and some big fixes. See below for the best changelog I could pull together from my surprisingly scattered notes and commit messages.
Current users can update simply by pressing “U” (shift-U) in their Instapaper SSB. New users will want to take a look at the original installation instructions…
