Great extension and to @steve jagodzinski - all Chrome extensions are unminified Javascript so anyone can see all the code. Use developer mode and search for the ID of the extension to find the folder using an app like Find Any File or in terminal (not Finder). There is no data being sent anywhere, and it doesn't know anything about your company. It is just a simple regex finding things that LOOK like JIRA tickets and turning them into links. Super useful! The only downside is that I have gotten so used to it that I forget other people don't have it and I disabled it in docs.google.com so I can be sure to add links for others as appropriate and not rely on everyone having this handy tool.

Is this open source to be sure that data is not being sent home? This extension works perfectly, but I have to rate it a 3 because the source is not readily available / there is no way to know its not sending content home. I mainly want this to link to JIRA from GitLab, and I don't need a random Chrome extension developer knowing all of our company inner source code. Happy to change to a 5 if source code can be provided.

This works well for me, except for one quirky behavior on Chrome OS that is actually pretty disruptive: If I'm typing out an issue tag in a text-input box, the moment when the plain text gets caught and edited into a link by the extension also seems to reset the placement of my cursor in the text box (it seems to almost always jump back to just before the start of the link). Is there a way to disable the auto-linking in text-input boxes? Or to have it add the link but but leave my cursor where it is?
