Extension summary

A custom, all-purpose, word aliaser!

You can now create your own aliases in addition to en and em dashes! Moreover, the extension comes with built-in alias packs, including Greek, accents, and math symbols!

Simply enter two dashes (hyphens) for an en–dash, and three for an em–dash! This can be changed, as can all other aliases you make!

This works nearly anywhere, in google, hangouts, messenger, facebook, etc.

If it doesn't work on a site that you use, be sure to report a bug, or contact us!

Feel free to send feedback or issues, or ask for increased dash functionality!

Thanks so much for your support!

I ran this extension for a long time, mostly because I like to use an proper em dash instead of the usual double hyphen, but it's also useful for other kinds of text macros. But it hasn't been updated in 8 years, and now I'm beginning to see issues with some web sites: the signon page on one site, weird focus issues on another. So I've disabled it, and there seems to be no other extension that does this. Oh well.

This is the extension I have needed for years! How did I not know this was out there?! I work for an organization with a long name, and I now have it set up with an alias, so when I start to type out the name, the whole long name pops up. I also use em dashes a LOT, and this makes it so easy to set up an alias, easier than you can in various apps. LOVE. LOVE. LOVE.
