new ‘Should have been'1st paragraph of description:
“Listing of Versions to choose the option of resore/copy/do nothing on the active Draft. Quick/easy external keyboard shortcut device, change for your taste. Likely will be antiquated when native drafts 'Versions’ is more immediately accessible, but right now far fewer keystrokes in/out. ”

Count of chars, words, or lines is now an option,
Script lines 3-5 set defaults of number displayed, count, and if zeores are used as fillers.
Cancel option allowed on initial version list – if canceled final action options not shown.

cleaned up this description, functional changes previoulsy noted.

  1. Count of chars, words, or lines an option, default set in in first 3-4 lines of script.
  2. Cancel option allowed on initial version list – if canceled final action options not shown.

Versions (listing of->choose -> restore/copy/do notihng action on the active Draft. Quick/easy external keyboard shortcut device, change for your taste. Likely will be antiquated when native drafts “Versions” is more immediately accessible.

This is a quick javascript that shows the usual version list for THE ACTIVE DRAFT and options to restore/copy to clipboard, or both. Lines 3 and 4 of the script define two numbers may be customize (1. maximum number displayed, 2.format choice of listing (aligned by adding more zeroes, or very slightly out of left alignment).

The version list does not immediately update, but requires another draft to be loaded into editor, or exit/reload. (This is the same behavior as the system).

the bottom two functions are useful additions to a general js library. (I think).

Steps

    var intStrLength = 4 ; // set = 0  zero to show no zeroes before the length
