About this extension
Have you ever felt it took too much work to type out long words or sentences every time when you want to reply a chat or created a post in reddit? This is addon is for you, it helps you type fast in a very customizable way in the browser.

You can create shortcuts for words, sentences or emoji and then type them in browser and write really fast.
For instance: you can transform the phrase "I'm comming" into a shortcut "imc" and every time you time "imc" you will get "I'm comming". Another one? You can transform "¯\_[ツ]_/¯" into "shrug" and then you will never mess up with the characters ever again.

How to use it?

When you installed the addon, it will add a new icon to the top bar, click there and you will be in the "configuration page" (I'll improve that, I hope, I'm not very good at design). Then, click in the "+" (plus) icon and it will create a new row in the list. Now, in the "Replace" column you will put shortcut to your boring word, sentence or emoji and in the "With" you will put the real word/sentence/emoji and then, click in Save. That is it, now go to google and just test it and then, add more shortcuts.

All you have to do is to enter in the configuration page (click in the icon) and create a unique style of writing to you and then, save it and that is it.

Good Luck, Have fun (typed: glhf)
Developer comments
This is the first version of the addon and I have a lot of ideas to put on that, but I would like to know if it will be really useful and that is why I release it this way.

What can you do?
- Create an infinite list of shortcuts;
- A new shortcut added or removed? It will update the list of all the websites without the need of reloading the page;
- You can import the list by a JSON file (see in the project website).

Next moves?
- [DONE] Support dynamic inputs;
- Support non-usual way to enter a text;
- Improve the UI of the list;
- Use a better icon;
- [DONE] Sync your list with all your browsers;
- Change the name (maybe).

Thanks
