Cache Text

Cache Text (currently does not work for Windows, I believe. Sorry about that, will try to fix soon) Welcome to Cache Text! This is a personal project of mine that originally just consisted of the cache-find feature. The motivation for this feature was that I did not want to have to type the same thing in the search box over and over again; instead, I can just rely on a binding to search what I want. I have expanded this binding feature to fill boxes as well as open new tabs to websites I visit commonly. Other handy things include being able to scroll without touching the mouse. Finally, some original Chrome shortcuts, such as creating new windows/tabs, conflict with this extension's bindings, so they have a new location, mostly in the alt command prompt.

********** To begin using this extension: Press the \ key. You can change this activation key to the one you like in the options. Click on the Off/N/A/S/T/F icon on the URL bar to access that page. **********

There are 6 modes: N, T, S, A, F, altPrompt. They are explained below. In general, you can go back to normal mode by pressing <esc>. For S, A, F, you can also go back by pressing the space bar. You may not switch from one special mode to another, with the exception of Fill mode, where you can switch to Typing mode directly.

When you see a text box, you can enter typing mode directly by clicking on it or focusing on it. You can also set the options for this to go to fill mode automatically.

To see all the features, scroll down below to the documentation. While the search/fill/alt bindings and caching are my ideas, I have adapted the enum and highlighting ideas from other sources to my extension, partly for my convenience (I use the extension too) and partly for my own Javascript practice. Please read the credits section down below for more details.

Due to restrictions in the API, I could not make a copy/paste shortcut. You can use copy/paste in Typing mode, and in any prompt windows.

********** To close this extension: Press the same activation key you used to activate this extension in normal mode **********
