ProKeys Extension

Never waste a second on repetitive typing and the tedium of copy-paste again. Impress your boss and colleagues with a spike in your productivity!

This user-friendly text expander lets you save largish text expansions and associate them with short abbreviations. We support plain or styled text, local and sync browser storage, clipboard macros, date and time macros, dynamic value fields in expansions, dynamic math, omnibox support, and much more!

Your words-per-minute will skyrocket, your colleagues will swoon at your productivity, online drudgery of the corporate world won't touch you, and you'll never bother with the Herculean task of right-click, copy, go-somewhere-else, right-click...

For more info, visit the Help section inside the app, or watch the promo video on this page.

⋆Snippets⋆ - expand abbreviations
Define custom abbreviations, and expand them by simply pressing the hotkey (default: Shift+Space). It can be even a full-length email to your customer! Example: \"brb\" can expand to \"Be right back!\" Think of these as \"canned responses\".

⋆Placeholders⋆ - fields (inside snippets) which can be given dynamic values on using the snippet. Example: snippet \"wishBday\", which you can use to wish your friends Happy Birthday! Since the name of the friend keeps changing, so you can add a placeholder in the snippet body, as \"%name%\" (without quotes). It'll be auto-highlighted whenever you use the snippet and you can type your friend's name into it.

⋆Mathomania⋆ - do math without leaving your text editor, and without calculators. Simply type the math expression inside the `[[` and `]]` and press `=` to get the results. (watch the promo video for details) Parentheses and exponentiation is also supported.
Example: \"[[ 15% * 600 =]]\" gives \"90\" and \"[[ (5+6) * 15^2 =]]\" gives \"2475\".

⋆Omnibox support⋆ - use the keyword \"pk\" to directly expand snippets inside of the omnibox/address bar.

⋆Clipboard access⋆ - use [[%p]] anywhere in your snippet body, it is auto-replaced with the current clipboard data.

⋆Date/Time Macros⋆ - embed short symbols (inside a snippet body) which are auto-replaced their current date and time. Multiple date and time formats are supported.

⋆Date/Time Arithmetic⋆ - can be used to move forward or backward in time in the date and time macros. Supports both relative and independent evaluation of the symbols.

⋆Variables⋆ - quickly type date, time, browser version without having to leave your text editor or look at the clock!

⋆Auto-Insert⋆ - Quotes ('\"') and braces - ( { [ -are auto-completed, and you can specify your custom insert-it-for-me symbols as well (like, inserting a '>' on typing of a '<') in the settings.

⋆Tab Key⋆ - can be used to insert 4 spaces, instead of its default function, thus speeding up your work.

Notes:
- All your data is stored on your PC (or synced across your Chrome sign-ins) and nothing is sent to any external servers! Check the source code if you wish to - https://github.com/GaurangTandon/ProKeys
- You can disable ProKeys for particular websites in the Settings.
- You can take a backup of your data, restore it, and print it as well.
- You are sure of not losing your data as ProKeys stores (on your PC) past 20 revisions of your data.
- You can switch between Sync and Local storage.

Note that the following few web apps are known to be incompatible:
1. Facebook (only comments and profile posts)/Messenger/Quora - uses improper text editor.
2. Google Docs - as it is a full-fledged editor itself. (But Google Docs comments section works)

Contact me at [email protected] if you know of a dynamic web app that's missing from the list above, or to give feedback.

Also note that the input of type email and number do not support caret manipulation so ProKeys can't function there (and neither does it work in password fields, for obvious reasons).

Rose Ann Renolla (ID: 000000d50e86ab48) Voted 4 ★ - Updated 08/11/2023 Prokeys down? What happened? All of a sudden Snippets show 'Out of used' on top, cant export, when I upload the sync recovered data, the snippets wont work still

Bart Cornelissen (ID: 0000005706337789) Voted 3 ★ - Updated 05/30/2023 Als het werkt, is het een heel handig programma. Helaas werkt het maar de helft van de tijd, als ze dat oplossen, zou het fantastisch zijn.

El Kaboushka (ID: 000000f7da453944) Voted 5 ★ - Updated 04/03/2023 I can't say enough good about ProKey! It saves me hours everyday. I have so many snippets that I'm amazed I can remember them all, but it is so much better than typing everything out each time. Thank you, ProKeys creators!!
