SlashPaste — Text Snippet Manager

Stop retyping the same text. SlashPaste lets you save your frequently used text snippets — email templates, support replies, code blocks, addresses, boilerplate — and insert them instantly into any text field on any website, right from your keyboard.

How it works

Press the trigger key (backslash <code>\</code> by default) while focused in any input, textarea, or rich-text editor. A sleek inline picker pops up right at your cursor. Use the arrow keys to navigate your saved snippets, press Enter to insert, and you're done — no mouse required.

Key Features

• Instant inline picker — Trigger a floating snippet menu directly at your text cursor on any webpage. Works in standard inputs, textareas, and contenteditable fields (including rich-text editors).

• Keyboard-first workflow — Navigate with Arrow Up / Arrow Down, insert with Enter, and dismiss with Esc or Backspace. Your hands never have to leave the keyboard.

• Customizable trigger key — Don't like backslash? Change the trigger key to any character you prefer from the Options page.

• Popup snippet manager — Quickly add, preview, copy, and delete snippets from the toolbar popup without leaving the current tab. Snippets show a count so you always know how many you have.

• Full options page — Manage your entire snippet library from a dedicated full-page editor. Add new snippets with a name and content, reorder, and delete with ease.

• Sync across devices — Snippets are stored in Browser Sync storage, so your library follows you automatically across every Chromium browser where you're signed in.

• Works everywhere — The content script runs across all URLs and inside all frames, so SlashPaste works in web apps, email clients, CRMs, coding environments, and more.

Perfect for
<ul><li>Customer support agents who send repetitive replies</li><li>Developers inserting code snippets, commands, or boilerplate</li><li>Writers and marketers reusing templates and phrases</li><li>Anyone who types the same things over and over</li></ul>
Privacy

SlashPaste requests only two permissions: <code>storage</code> (to save your snippets via Browser Sync) and <code>activeTab</code> (to insert text into the page you're viewing). No data is ever sent to any server. Everything stays in your browser.

<em>Minimal. Fast. Keyboard-driven. Your snippets, always one keypress away.</em>
