Paste Email: Efficient Text Insertion Chrome Extension

'Paste Email' is a Chrome extension that enhances text management within your browser. It adds context menu entries to input elements, enabling the user to select and paste predefined text into those inputs. Although it was originally designed for inserting email text, it can accommodate any text the user requires. The recent updates have introduced a variety of enhancements including the ability to insert multi-line entry and the ability to append selected text instead of replacing existing content in the input field.
