After lots of code, tests, and fun, I’ve produced a Firefox extension to add a useful, new feature to Twitter, as opposed to writing Twitter extensions as a joke<\/a> \ud83d\ude00<\/p>\n

Simply put, the extension provides autocomplete for Twitter usernames<\/a> from your own list of friends while you’re using the web interface at twitter.com. It’s totally secure — no separate login required. Just install it, and use Twitter naturally.<\/p>\n

When you start typing messages to people — using “@user” or “d user” — a list of matching contacts (along with icons) will drop in. You can click the person’s name to fill their username into the text box, or use the arrow keys along with tab\/enter to select. As an added bonus, if you can’t remember their username at all, just type their first name, and the extension will figure it out.<\/p>\n

There is another autocomplete script for Twitter, but it requires installing extra libraries, and I think this is simpler. Clearly it’s a feature in-demand.<\/p>\n

The extension is hosted at addons.mozilla.org<\/a>, a highly reputable site. They also provide lots of great management features that are handy to developers. I hope you enjoy using Tw-autocomplete.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
