[replace
X.comwithtwitter.com]
used bing chat to create a userscript that replaces and occurrence of https://www.x.com or https://x.com with https://twitter.com.
it'll only replace the text in the input field on thecoli when bbcode is enabled.
i was doing ctrl-vhttps://twitter.com/PBS/status/1642240482813042688and as you can see it automatically changed to twitter.com.
if you have a x.com link in html mode editor and switch to bbcode editor, the url won't change immediately, you'll have to press space, type something or hit ENTER inside the field for it to change. theres a small annoying cursor position issue i couldn't get rid of without causing other bugs.
edit:
Toggle the "BB code" button and then the buttons to the left should turn grey.

A,I generated instructions:
Here are the step-by-step instructions to add the userscript to Chrome or Firefox:
For Chrome:
For Firefox:
- Install the Tampermonkey extension from the Chrome Web Store.
- Once Tampermonkey is installed, click on the Tampermonkey icon in the toolbar and select “Create a new script…”
- Paste your userscript into the editor and save it.
- The userscript should now be installed and will run whenever you visit a page that matches its @match or @include rules.
you can also use the userscript on android with firefox or kiwi browser.
- Install the Greasemonkey or Tampermonkey extension from the Firefox Add-ons site.
- Once Greasemonkey or Tampermonkey is installed, click on the Greasemonkey or Tampermonkey icon in the toolbar and select “Add a new script…”
- Paste your userscript into the editor and save it.
- The userscript should now be installed and will run whenever you visit a page that matches its @match or @include rules.
since twitter officially changed it's links to x.com, I updated the userscript to work in html editor mode as well as bbcode editor mode. so anytime you paste a
https://x.com or https://www.x.com url it'll automatically replace the domain with https://twitter.com. making the embeds work seamlessly since the site addons haven't been updated to support x.com.

})();Changelog:
**Version 1.0 to Version 1.3**
1. **Expanded Functionality**:
- The script now handles both text input fields and editable areas (with the `contenteditable="true"` attribute) on the web pages.
- The script now replaces URLs in the BBCode editor mode, in addition to the HTML editor mode.
2. **Improved Cursor Position Handling**:
- The script now correctly restores the cursor position after replacing URLs, even when the text length changes.
- The script now handles the case where the user presses the Enter key, replacing URLs in the new line and restoring the cursor position correctly.
3. **Expanded Matching Patterns**:
- The script now matches URLs with both the "x.com" and "www.x.com" patterns.
4. **Improved Readability and Maintainability**:
- The script has been reorganized and formatted for better readability and maintainability.
- The script now uses more descriptive variable and function names.
5. **Increased Robustness**:
- The script now handles edge cases more gracefully, ensuring a smoother user experience.
Overall, the changes from Version 1.0 to Version 1.3 have significantly improved the functionality, reliability, and user experience of the script.[/icode]
