Does anyone know of a Firefox plugin that would enable tab-completion (or some other key sequence like Alt-L) of items in drop-down lists in web forms?
e.g.
ou<TAB>in<TAB>s<TAB>
for 'OurCompany - Internal Support'
Vimperator's hints mode makes it very ergonomic to focus the drop-down list with a key sequence like
f13
but the keyboard interface to the drop-down list still sucks. I very frequently have to pick items from a very long list with very long common prefixes among the entries (e.g. 30-40 starting with OurCompany -
), which renders both the built-in keyboard interface and the mouse pretty slow and unergonomic.
I basically want readline support for filling webforms!
