InterALEKS

InterALEKS, formerly known as ALEKS Helper is a Chrome extension that enables the Enter key for answer submission on ALEKS (Assessment and Learning in Knowledge Spaces).

📖 Overview

InterALEKS is a Chrome extension that streamlines ALEKS by enabling Enter-key actions and smart redirects, with a configurable settings popup.

✨ Features

• Enter key actions: Press Enter to trigger the right action automatically
  • Priority order (when visible/enabled): Start Now → Submit → Start → Continue My Path → Check → Next → Try Another → Check → Continue
  • Safeguards: Disables Enter if a Calculator heading is visible or if #ej9lur1fx5 is on-screen
• Auto-redirects: Detects session closed/cookie-block pages and sends you to your chosen login
• Configurable: Toggle Enter and Redirect behavior, set delayed re-check, and pick login method (ALEKS or McGraw Hill)
• Modern popup UI: Dark themed, compact, with Save/Reset and synced settings

Redirect behavior and settings

• If ALEKS shows a page saying "Sorry, this page cannot be displayed due to your browser setting" or the title contains "Session Closed", InterALEKS redirects to your chosen login.
• Title-based detection: "ALEKS - Session Closed" and "ALEKS - Sorry, this page cannot be displayed due to your browser setting."
• Body-text fallback detection for reliability.
• Settings available in the popup:
  • Login method
  • Enable Enter actions
  • Block Enter when Calculator is visible
  • Enable auto-redirects
  • Redirect double-check delay (No delay, 2s, 3s, 5s)
