Shorthand abbreviations expand to full text.
Text Expander Extension
Adding a text snippet:
• Click/open the extension.
• In the first box: enter the abbreviated text, without spaces, to be replaced a longer form in the second text box.
• In the second box: enter the expanded form, replacing the \"prefix\" text from the first box.
To use a saved snippet:
• In any input box, type your prefix text and use the assigned shortcut (default is \"Ctrl+Shift+G\".
• For the expansion to work, the prefix text must be separated from other words by a space.
• The caret (blinking text cursor) must be on or around the prefix word. For example, lets say the pipe character (|) is your caret placement:
how to exit vim? so| (valid)
how to exit vim? s|o (valid)
how to exit vim? |so (valid)
how to exit vim?| so (invalid)
To remove a text snippet:
• Click/open the extension.
• Check any boxes you'd like removed.
• Click the \"Remove\" button and reopen the extension.
Notes and limitations:
• Expansion won't work in some input fields.
• Expansion won't work in the Omnibox (Chrome's address bar/search bar).
• Expansion won't work in the startup page search bar.
• The prefix text doesn't need to be highlighted.
• The prefix-expansion pair is saved locally on your browser.
Change Notes:
[1.1.0]
• Changes: 2nd input box now changed to
to allow multi-line expansions.
• Bug fix: Long expansions in the extension are now scrollable.
• Bug fix: Removing local storage items doesn't refresh list.
