Daniel Guevara (ID: 0000000a9a257450) Voted 5 ★ - Updated 03/30/2023 I am so excited about this extension and have found it to be a game-changer for making my work life easier. However, I was wondering if you could add a feature that would make it even better. Would it be possible to include a way to organize text snippets into folders? This would be super helpful because I could categorize my snippets based on my needs and find them more easily. I really think this addition would make the extension even more amazing and help me get my work done faster and more efficiently.

Nick Gibbs (ID: 0000004f4483dec1) Voted 5 ★ - Updated 09/03/2021 Very happy to find this when another similar extension, long abandoned, stopped working altogether. Huge time saver, but would be so much better if it had 3 features of the ;insert text' extension i had been using - and by better i mean i would most happily pay 50€ for it. 1. The ability to import/export your texts, so you could use it between accounts, and possibly even other tools. 2. The ability to organise snippets, even shifting up and down the list would be great, but ideally folder/category and sub snippet, 3. The ability to include rich text, e.g. paragraphs, links etc. to snippets. The previous 'insert text' was working in 100% of websites, this reduced towards the end to around 50%. Paste from context menu works in 90%+ as it stands, but if you spend time setting it all up, be aware that without any export, all your snippets will be lost if tech changes and the developer doesn't update the extension. I would prefer to pay to encourage them to do so.
