Clipboard Text Replacer is a Chrome extension that lets users set rules for replacing selections and links
Clipboard Text Replacer Extension
This is an open source project, that I created because I needed a quick way to replace certain items in selections and links during my development process. My specific use case, was that I needed to click a lot of links in production, but have them point to my local environment. The example in the extension is that we replace this regex
/^(https?:\\/\\/(www\\.)?[^/]+)/g
with this
localhost:3000
which changes any matching (most valid urls (probably)) to my local environment. Like \"https://mywebsite.com/users/1\" will turn into \"localhost:3000/users/1\"
Enjoy!
PS. This is open source and the repo can be found on https://github.com/Voldemorten/clipboard-text-replacer
