Elroy Sullivan (ID: 00000013bd48c230) Voted 5 ★ - Updated 01/09/2023 I was looking for an extension to paste one of several multi-line blurbs from the context menu, and, after an extensive search, this is the only one I found. It seems to work absolutely great (once you remember to refresh your page after creating a new blurb). The only problem I've found that, on long blurbs (> 500 characters), the entire blurb doesn't show from the app. However, the entire blurb DOES paste correctly when pasted from the context menu. I've written him to see if he'll fix the blurb "show" problem, so we'll see.

B L (ID: 000000876df58d83) Voted 5 ★ - Updated 08/12/2019 Tried other extensions, none worked as consistently as this one. One improvement is to be able to save the texts and import to another machine.
