    Thank you. This just works, both on Firefox and on Chrome. Nice. Would be great, if I could sync my accounts via my Gdrive.

    This is a sorely needed add-on. The first time I installed it, every short form produced multiple expansions. It is hard to know why. I am turning this off for now.

    Really helpful extension. The %clip% feature does not work on Firefox though :(

    Really great! Would love to be able to customize text expansion on a per-site basis (even just disabling it completely would be helpful). Thank you

    I love this add-on and use it in chrome a lot. In FF I would love to use it as well but one main feature with C&P with the %clip% is not working and was commeted 6 month ago.
    I use Ubuntu 18.04.3 LTS and FF 71

    My favorite browser plug-in. It has become so essential, I can't use a browser that doesn't support it now. You can do some creative things with it to speed your workflow. If you do use multiple browsers, as I do, it's just one simple copy and paste to move all your shortcuts to a new browser. I highly recommend this plug-in to everyone.

    I've been using this extension for helping me learn German. The language uses vowels with umlauts that are laborious to type using normal tools. With this extension, I set up shortcuts to add umlauted letters with just two key stores, saving me a lot of time typing.

    Hi Pete - is it possible to port over the latest code from carlinyuen ? It might help with some of the text fields that are built by JS. This is in the latest README: "Added support for React-powered input fields"
    Mainly I'm having trouble with Jira ticket inputs.

    A decent port, but is missing some important details. %clip% doesn't work, and support link leads to the Chrome store

    Does not work well with all websites. would like to contact developer to figure out why. Otherwise, it works as it should!
