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.
