Yeah, I'm glad to be working on it.. 'bout time 
Re-read the end: F. will put it on as soon as he finishes import. 
Correct It won't be read for this weekend, but very likely to be up on the staging site next week. I expect it to be "live" the week after that, so first week of November. I want to include a couple other fixes if I can, similar to the last update.
Actually the text is a bit confusing.^^"
I also was searching for the feature, because I thought you finished "customzied Keywords", and will add the import on the test page next week.
I thought it was the greasemonkey script which hid the tab, but seems I was wrong. 
Anyway, keep up the good work, you are awesome!

Ok next time I will write in the future tense
The way I see it, the import feature is to avoid editing 2000 keywords manually if the learner wishes to use RevTK in his/her native language. Maybe something along the line of the UTF8 Anki list import?
But it's not that urgent, and it can be done manually for now (thanks to your Customize fonction ), so don't strain yourself if you feel like doing something else for awhile.
Kind regards, (we owe you BIG time, man!)

That was what confused me as well. ^^ Except for the greasemonkey script, because I don't use that.
Anyway, great job Fabrice, I'll be patient a bit longer. ^^
Wow. Just thanks for all the work you're putting up. I read that you started the website a while back just new and learning PHP/MySQL, and looking at the git repo it's now all pro symfony-zend-prototype looking Makes me wonder, is dev also your day job?
About the feature, some keywords really didn't make sense to me so I had to remember both Heisig's and mine. Adding to the fact that I'm french and have no idea what words like "reed" means... Now it'll be much easier, so double thanks!

Ive tried it out now, and ive found no issues (or further suggestions) about it, just a big THANK YOU for working with this. A great great relief, personally the most important update on the site, second to the site being born in the first place
Fab, you're the MAN!
I can't find the words to begin to explain how good it feels to finally be able to switch "grace/graceful/gracious" to "gracieusement/plein de grâce/élégant". The relief...
I feel like I could fly (I'm staying away from the windows, don't worry ).
Edit from study, edit from review, edit from manage: awesome (doable in any position).
So I tried to picture myself as a serial editor, and a few suggestions came to mind. I'm not saying you should do any of the following, but you should at least consider them if you can get away with them without having to put too much work upfront.
In the manage page, to edit, something like a tabulation hotkey would be cool (if it's already there and I couldn't find it, I'm sorry). For example, you click on the edit icon, type in your new word, then by pressing tabulation, you start editing the next word immediately below, making chain editing less of a chore.
Also (still if it's doable), the display rows should start containing a hundred items (for the time being it's 10, 25, 50 items). This would be for chain editing, but also for the "my stories" section, where I sometimes felt like a bird's eye view was missing.
Well, that's it. Incidently, I found an additionnal bonus to the editing feature: I used to trip a lot on keywords which are both a noun and a verb with different meanings, for example, board (I mixed it with plank). Now I just edit like this: board (v.), and it's cloud nine again.
A thousand thanks for your thousands of hours.
Hail Fabrice!

Yeah, I'm phasing out prototypejs now in favour of YUI 2. I wish I'd use YUI 3 straight away but it's still in beta and I had lots of code for YUI 2 from past projects to make dialogs from ajax content and so on..
I worked the past four years at Emakina. I started out "slicing" which is converting the designer's PSD into HTML, CSS and sometimes Javascript (menus and so on). Then gradually did more and more "front end engineering" jobs, which is what I enjoy most.
There is a significant problem I have with the website in that I started five years ago, and the front end code and php code was really old. The php code got a make over with a lightweight hack of Symfony, which is elegant enough; but the javascript always lagged behind. So for example this feature I thought it would take 2-3 weeks but it took nearly 7 
I always end up writing 50% of Javascript API stuff and reworking old code. I've been thinking more about this lately because refactoring or changing APIs is a big problem as a one man team. On the other hand, in those five years, especially at that company I was basically following web news every day and there has been so much progress in Javascript APIs, web development frameworks, Ajax, HTML and CSS standards. All my time at Emakina I learned to build 100% identical sites in IE6 but today it's almost disappeared (1% of visits on this site).. So a lot changed really fast and it's hard also to keep up
Thansk for the kind words, all!
I'll look at any issues or suggestions more in detail following days. Coming is a 3 day weekend where I will not be able to do any hotfix, that's why it was safer to put it on staging first.
Fabrice, I love you!
I just tested the feature, and it's awesome. I didn't think it would take such a short time to implement, so I guess I underestimated your skills. Thank you so much for this early Christmas present!
The only thing that keeps it from being perfect is that it doesn't affect search and automatic keyword bolding, but that's not really an issue for me.
Oh, and I just found out I can't edit the keywords for things that aren't in Heisig, like "Unicode-0x65c1" (旁), but I think they are unaffected by many other features too.

I agree. I've been thinking about ways to "chain" this on the Manage page but I hoped nobody would notice. Good testing
I'm thinking of adding another button, to avoid changing the default behaviour of the tab key (although it's a fine solution too). For example "Next", which would be on the left side, so if you press tab if twill highlight this submit button first, press enter, and this would close dialog but open for the next keyword automagically.
I'll work on that for the update.

Hey, that would be nice too.

どうもありがとうございます for considering my requests.
Have a nice day.
