What is Text inserter?

Text Inserter is a Chrome extension that allows users to insert predefined text into input fields with ease. By simply pressing F2, users can save time and avoid repetitive typing. The extension also supports dynamic tags to generate parts of the current date/time while inserting the text. Please note that text insertion is compatible with most input elements, but not with dynamically created iframes.

Summary

Analyze keywords

We often have to insert the same or similar text again and again into some input fields. With text inserter you can define such a text in the options page and easily insert it by pressing the F2 key. Beside the static text part, it is also possible to use tags to dynamically generate parts of the current date/time, when the text is inserted.

Note: Text insertion will work for most input elements. Inserting into dynamically created iframes (e.g. some editors) is not supported at the moment.
