Here's a list of tools that I use to make my life easier/more efficient on here. Feel free to try these out or add suggestions of your own.
Keyboard shortcuts:
If you spend hours on end on TV Tropes, you probably want to shortcut your way through most frequent actions. With AutoHotkey you can send a defined sequence of keystrokes to the browser/editing window to accomplish certain tasks. E.g. when I am on a trope page and press F9, the view will change into edit mode. This is helpful when you are at the bottom of a page and don't want to scroll all the way up to access the top navibar. note This is the associated script which should work for FF and Chrome:
I haven't touched the Edit Page button ever since.
Search engine:
Sadly this one works only with Firefox (but there may be clones for other browsers too). The Web Search Pro add-on let's you build customized search engines for TV Tropes.
As you can see here, I use one engine for the main search, one for YKTTW search and one to submit Custom Wiki Word entries. It's also possible to create separate engines for IP, TRS, Tech Wishlist, User Recent Edits or what have you. All this with a click of a button. Instructions can be provided.
Image search:
I am always on the hunt for better quality versions of existing trope images. Add-ons like Google Image Search help with this task by providing a click of a button reverse image search.
User scripts:
For Firefox these Java script snippets need Greasemonkey to be installed first. Chrome can load the scripts directly, if I remember correctly.
