Clipboard Inserter

A simple addon whose purpose is to automatically insert contents of clipboard into the page.

Clipboard Inserter is a handy Chrome extension that automatically monitors and inserts your system clipboard contents directly into any webpage you are working on. Once activated in a browser tab, it detects clipboard changes and seamlessly injects the content, saving time and enhancing productivity.

Users can easily customize the tag name for the wrapping element as well as select the parent element for inserted content using simple CSS selectors through the extension's options. This flexibility ensures the inserted contents fit perfectly within the structure of your webpage.

The extension uses an icon licensed under CC 3.0 BY, designed by Google and available from Flaticon. Clipboard Inserter is ideal for users who frequently paste information into webpages and desire an automated, customizable workflow.
