ADDING KEYBOARD SHORTCUTS TO A 24 YEAR OLD GOVERNMENT WEBSITE WITH USERSCRIPTS
Summary from the TLDR Web Dev newsletter
This author spent a year cleaning medical device data from the FDA's 510k database website. The website's interface was outdated and lacked functionalities like fuzzy search and keyboard shortcuts. To save time and improve their workflow, the author wrote userscripts to automate repetitive actions by adding shortcuts for opening search, focusing on search input, and copying device ID.
