In each page there are 25 javascript links meaning, link won't show up until I click on it. I would like to to open these 25 links at once by a key press or automatically.

Hi,

first, find a way to identify the set of all links (e. g. all links "...with the CSS class named 'some-link'", "...in the third 'div' element of the 'body'", "...within a 'li' element", etc.)

Then you need to follow these steps:

  1. Define two methods 'onKeyPressed' and 'openTheLinks'
  2. Below them, add a key press event listener with 'document.addEventListener("keypress", onKeyPressed)'
  3. In 'onKeyPressed', check the KeyboardEvent properties to test if your desired keyboard shortcut was pressed
  4. If the desired shortcut was detected, call 'openTheLinks'
  5. In 'openTheLinks', select the links with the appropiate 'document.querySelector' call
  6. Loop over the result set of selected link elements
  7. For each link element, get the href-url and call 'window.open(url, "_blank")'

Pitfalls to avoid, read documentation about these topics first:

  • for 2.: "keypressed" might not always be the best event choice depending on your use-case; sometimes you need to use "keydown" or "keyup"
  • for 3.: there's a lot of different properties to check with varying support between browsers, pressed key and chosen event
  • for 4.: you might want to stop event propagation if the shortcut you intend to use is already used for something else on the site or in the browser
