Some of us may have bought a Humble Bundle or two, and activating each game that we purchased was a breeze. Reveal the key, and then click the "Redeem" button to activate the game via the browser on Steam.

I wondered: "How wonderful would it be if Steamgifts had that feature too?"

I created a simple script that helps emulate that experience on SteamGifts. Now when you win a game, clicking the key you won would immediately bring you to the page to activate the game on Steam.

You can install the script here:
https://openuserjs.org/scripts/crazoter/SG_UI_-_Activate_Key_Link

For fellow developers, you may use the script source code to improve the SteamGifts experience for others as you wish.

For key activation on a phone:
For a number of us, we look at our wins and we feel guilty that we can't activate them since we're away from our PC. Wouldn't it be amazing if we could activate at work (during our break time)?

Unfortunately, I cannot make the process more fluent on mobile using just userscripts; the feature would have to be added by cg / by a mobile app. If you wish to activate keys on the go, it is recommended to bookmark the following links:
https://www.steamgifts.com/giveaways/won (to copy the key)
https://store.steampowered.com/account/registerkey (to activate the key)
