I typed "[[[[" and the script became unresponsive (hung).

Repeated by reloading the page. Same result.

FireFox / MacOS.

Should be better now. It was a change I made half an hour ago. Ad-hoc changes to sites that are receiving traffic always do that.

[You'll need to hard-refresh to get the fixed code.]

That's bad. I'll look into it right away.

Working fine on Chrome 24 on Linux/x64.

The browser tab hangs on Chromium 24.0.1312.56 on Kubuntu 12.10 (when typing [[[[).

Weird, I'm on almost the exact same version (24.0.1312.57) and it does nothing when typing any number of '['. I have the branded version of Chrome, though, but still, weird!

The problem is fixed now, so the fact that it works shouldn't come as a surprise.

The demo doesn't seem to work on Chrome 25.0.1364.152 m. I'm getting this error whenever I try any of the shortcuts (or when I select a command from the drop down):

Uncaught TypeError: Cannot set property 'curOrigin' of undefined (infer.js:489)

Looks interesting though!

That was another quick update that broke things. I fixed it ~20 minutes after I pushed it, but I guess you exactly hit the window where it was broken.
