User specifies the length and the type (number or text) of the string and the extension generates the string of specified length. Or user inserts the string in the second field and the extension calculates the length of it.
Hot keys:
- Left arrow checks Number type
- Right arrow checks Text type
- Up arrow checks/unchecks Space checkbox
- Down arrow checks/unchecks Umlaut checkbox (ÄÖÜÕ)
- Tabular sets focus on bottom textarea to insert the String for length calculation
For example, if length is 10 and type is number, it gives You the string '1000000009' which You can copy-paste into the field. The first and the last characters are always different from the characters in the middle, which helps to see does field holds the whole string or not.
