a little late to the punch. but here's an update that includes buttons for checking all prefixes or suffixes. This only selects all of them.. but it would be trivial to convert it so that it deselects all of them when you click it again, or it could just toggle the value of each checkbox by setting the value to the opposite of the current value, like so:
myCheckbox.value = !myCheckbox.value;

// - added user var for Seperators
// 0.2.2 (05/11/2020) by Sergey Osokin
// - fixed arrays names and indexes
// - fixed scrollbar
// - added isEmpty() function to prevent entering text string has only whitespace
// 0.2.3 (06/3/2021) by William Dowling
// - adding buttons to auto-check all prefix or suffix checkboxes
// - wrapped logic in container function to prevent inserting variables into the global scope
// - added target directive
// User set variable
