jump-to-anchor

Context menu item to jump to the closest anchor to the selected text (if any) or to the right-click point otherwise.

Install at AMO.

Detection algorithm

  1. If the clicked node is text, skip to step #3.

  2. If it is an element, check it for an id= or <a name=>, and if present, redirect to it and abandon steps.

  3. If there is a previous adjacent element sibling of the clicked node, check from its deepest last child for an anchor, and abandon steps to redirect if an anchor is found.

  4. Go back to #3 as long as there are previous adjacent element siblings.

  5. Check for anchor on the parent node, and abandon steps to redirect if an anchor is found. If not, go to step #4.

  6. Do nothing.

Related add-ons

I mostly just wanted a restartless extension which could auto-jump to the closest anchor above the click point, and from there, copy it if desired.

If you want something which provides options such as highlighting the anchors on a page or adds context menu items to copy and bookmark the anchors, see Show Anchors 2.
