// @name           Eyedropper Button
// @version        1.0.9
// @author         aminomancer
// @homepageURL    https://github.com/aminomancer/uc.css.js
// @description    Adds a toolbar button that implements the color picker without launching the devtools. Similar to the menu item in the "More Tools" and "Tools > Browser Tools" menus, only this one can be placed directly on your toolbar. Also adds a customizable hotkey to do the same — by default, it's Ctrl+Shift+Y (or ⌘+⇧+Y on macOS)

    // be used. that means the hotkey will just be "Y" which may be a bad idea —
