Which auto form filler FF extension are you referring to? I did a search and quite a few came up.

In order to change the hotkey, you would need to edit the last few lines of code beginning with
// The listener section. Is fairly self explanatory.

I'm also thinking about updating this script some, I tried out another random filler that did fill text forms with random data, and to me it's just a clutter of garbage text, that doesn't serve the purpose I'm looking for, because you would have to edit those fields again and put meaningful things into them.

I would rather just run the auto form filler firefox extension for the text boxes, then run my script for the random stuff. No sense in reinventing the wheel.

Is it possible to change the keyboard shortcut to something like Alt + F? Thanks, its a great piece of code!

Sure you could. Just make it take text field names like "firstname" and it can generate a string of text 3-10. Then from there the user can determine what field needs to go with each type. Of course all forms aren't name the same, so bd_d, bd_m and bd_y would be Birthday (day, month and year) You could make a section of each common type of field and allow the user to fill in custom names for each to make the script more intelligent so to speak.

Thanks, I thought about making it fill textboxes with random text, but theres almost no way I could make the script put meaningful text into each box. It would probably cause more trouble than it's worth :). But someday if I get bored I may give it a shot.

Very nice. It would be even better if it filled textboxes with random text. Then, if you clicked on a textbox all the text would go away so you could type.
