Jibba Jabba (Rick) wrote it to try out ways for "as fast as possible" mass data entry. So minimal key presses.

  

It can be expanded to limit the search criteria to more than 1 character and possibly search a DB field from a txt file.

Would you like to see an updated/expanded version? Leave a comment!

Thanks to Rick for writing the app!
