Extension summary
This extension supports abbreviation expansion on most webpages.
- Upload a .tsv or .json file where the keys are an abbreviation and the values are the expanded text.
- Then when you visit a site, you can type any abbreviation into any text field and it will automatically be expanded when you type a non-word character.
- Ctrl-Z will undo the expansion.
- If you have difficulties with the extension, toggle it off and on from the simple UI.
Known issues:
- Facebook does not keep expanded text
- Extension takes 1 second to load on any given page
- New expansion files replace the old file, rather than merging
- Expansion only works in text boxes that are present when the page loads
