sorry, I'm late: to install it you have a 2 options
Option1: Install the tampermonkey brownser extension, create anew script, delete everything inside, and cut past the script above inside it, click save. To try it refresh (F5) your google doc (you must refresh after each change)

Option 2: Install the tampermonkey brownser extension, and simply click the "raw" button above of this github page, then click "install"
