Summary
Create custom keyboard shortcuts to expand and replace text as you type! Ever get tired of typing out long email addresses, phrases you frequently use, or just looking to save keystrokes as you type? Well fear not! Auto Text Expander is here to solve that -- kinda like TextExpander for Mac or AutoText for Windows, but installed and synced across Chrome browsers!
This free (and ad-free) extension adds basic javascript to your pages to check if your last set of consecutive keystrokes matches any of any number of custom shortcuts you can define and expands and replaces that text as you type. Save time, typos, and the satisfaction of being extra lazy!
This is an updated version of the extension created by carlinyuen (https://github.com/carlinyuen/ChromeAutoTextExpander). The last few updates in Github have not made it into the original extension, this version includes those changes.
** FEATURES **
Keystroke checking is entirely local and nothing is sent to any servers for tracking.
Customizable list of shortcuts to expand, which are synced across Chrome browsers you sign into.
Omnibox (url address bar) supported for quick jumping to websites with code ATE
Support for regular text fields, and multiline expanded text / html can be injected into content-editable divs.
