Open Food Facts Power User Extension

(A better name should be found, suggestions are welcome. Suggestion: Open Food Facts Moderator Extension?)

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 website page. To know if the extension is working you should see 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.
