Definitely not perfect. The default "collapse comment" buttons being right-aligned is pure insanity, IMO. They should be left-aligned so they're all in line with each other as you scroll down the page, so you barely have to move your mouse.
Fortunately this extension[1] takes care of that.

Also, proper hyperlink support in comments would be appreciated.
- xrd 3y agoDo you like this extension? I'm working on this: https://plzat.me/ https://plzat.me/ Would love to hear your thoughts if you have them.
- arp242 3y agoI have a userCSS for that as well: .togg { float:left; margin-right:.5em; letter-spacing:5px; } /* Collapse button to the left and larger */
- dang 3y agoBut then people would complain about it being too close to the vote arrows, no?
- arthens 3y agoHaving it on the right is pretty convenient on mobile because it makes it much easier to use just one hand (assuming you are right handed). Ironically (given how much hate they get), I find reddit new site and official app to have the best collapse ui. On the left on the web (and with a 100% vertical high which means you never have to scroll up to collapse), and tap anywhere on the message on mobile (much bigger and easier target than hn, works for both right and left handed people).
