Twitter Fast Reply Extension

This extension adds to the UI of X (Twitter) an option to save reply drafts for specific keywords or phrases.

When a key the user saved a draft with, appears in a tweet that the user is replying to (or in a tweet the user is quoting), \"Fast Reply\" button is added next to the Reply button. Button inserts the draft, or drafts, if there were multiple matches.

These early versions work only in the separate reply div, that you access by clicking the Answer icon under the tweet (or Retweet icon).

Saving a draft happens in the same reply div (Editor Container). When you start writing a reply, Save Fast Reply button appears. When you are done writing the draft, you can select a key for the draft from the tweet you are replying to. If you don't, you will be prompted to enter the key upon clicking the Save Fast Reply button.

You can manage your saved drafts in the extensions popup.

Changes in the version 0.1.1:

* Draft can now include pictures.

* If the draft database returns more than one match, you can now select one of them. You can do this when you hover mouse over the Fast Reply button.
You can also still insert all matching drafts by clicking the Fast Reply button.

Known bugs:
When the draft contains more images than one, some of the images can get lost, because of the timing issues with the scripts that are part of Twitter UI. Select the draft again, and all the images should be inserted. Remove duplicate images.
