    Hey all, so I've been tinkering with AHK a bit and figured, it would be easy enough to make a script that autocompletes ingredients, and Product claims (No Fat, No Trans Fat, etc.). Concept is simple - if there's an easy-to-remember abbreviation (HFCS is high fructose corn syrup, for example), I'll have that be the trigger to type in the full word. The only catch, each abbreviation has to be unique and none can start with a subset of another abbrev.

    Example: Suppose I have "prob" = probiotic. "prot" is ok for protein. "Pro" is not (pro is inside of "prob").

    Of course, this could get hairy quite quickly. We'll see.

    If anyone has lists of ingredients they'd like to share (minimum 5 at a time), feel free (preferably separated by commas, I can clean up capitalization issues as needed). Think of it as a charity effort to speed up the HITs for everyone.

    I'll have a first draft up in an hour or so, but it'll be limited to the very most common words. I intent to expand it to include the ~50-100 most common words and phrases with a relatively easy learning curve. I anticipate a time savings of at least 10-15 seconds per HIT on average.
