Sniplets Extension
- Want to speed up your work with saved text templates?
- Want to throw some info over from one of your computers to another?

MAIN FEATURES
- Snip/clip text from a webpage using the context menu or Alt+Shift+C where available.
- Insert saved text automatically using the context menu
- Use standard and custom placeholders for each time a sniplet is pasted or sent to the clipboard
- Easily organize sniplets with folder management, drag & drop and colour highlighting
- Backup and restore from Clippings
- Work locally, synchronize across logged in browsers or do both depending on your needs
KNOWN LIMITATIONS
- Keyboard shortcuts will not work on selections inside cross-origin iframes (embedded pages on a different domain)
- Context menus and keyboard shortcuts will not work on browser pages or the extension store
TRANSLATIONS
