SUMMARY

Expand a snippet of text to a longer form, using a hotkey (e.g., "so" → "site:stackoverflow.com"). Works in most text inputs, such as search boxes and multi-line comment fields.

Adding a text snippet:

  • Click/open the extension.
  • In the first box: enter the abbreviated text, without spaces, to be replaced a longer form in the second text box.
  • In the second box: enter the expanded form, replacing the "prefix" text from the first box.

    To use a saved snippet:
  • In any input box, type your prefix text and use the assigned shortcut (default is "Ctrl+Shift+G".
  • For the expansion to work, the prefix text must be separated from other words by a space.
  • The caret (blinking text cursor) must be on or around the prefix word. For example, lets say the pipe character (|) is your caret placement:

    how to exit vim? so| (valid)
    how to exit vim? s|o (valid)
    how to exit vim? |so (valid)
    how to exit vim?| so (invalid)

    To remove a text snippet:
  • Click/open the extension.
  • Check any boxes you'd like removed.
  • Click the "Remove" button and reopen the extension.

    Notes and limitations:
  • Expansion won't work in some input fields.
  • Expansion won't work in the Omnibox (Chrome's address bar/search bar).
  • Expansion won't work in the startup page search bar.
  • The prefix text doesn't need to be highlighted.
  • The prefix-expansion pair is saved locally on your browser.

    Change Notes:
    [1.1.0]
  • Changes: 2nd input box now changed to 
     to allow multi-line expansions.
  •  Bug fix: Long expansions in the extension are now scrollable.
  •  Bug fix: Removing local storage items doesn't refresh list.
