Open Food Facts Power User Extension

(A better name should be found, suggestions are welcome.)

This extension helps power users with keyboard shortcuts and some functionalities that are not (yet) in Open Food Facts. It's a kind of sandbox to test new functionalities: if those ones are appreciated, we could add it to Open Food Facts website.

Installation

You first need to install an application that manages userscripts on your browser:

• either Greasemonkey for Firefox
• or Tampermonkey (recommended) for Firefox and Chrome.

Then you can install Open Food Facts Power User Extension, by simply clicking on this link: https://github.com/openfoodfacts/power-user-script/raw/master/OpenFoodFactsPower.user.js. Tampermonkey will prompt you to install or update the extension: just click on Install or Reinstall button. Voilà!

Usage

To use it, you must be on a Open Food Facts wbesite page. To know if the extension is working you will a red square with a "?" fixed on top of the window. All features are explained thanks to the helper box: you can access it by cliking on the "?" or typing "?" or "h" keys.
