Text Shortcuts: Quick Replies & Templates

Text expander: type a shortcut like ;thanks and your full reply appears in Gmail, WhatsApp Web and any website.

Do you type the same things every day? Save them once and insert them with a shortcut of a few letters. Type ;thanks → "Thank you for your message! I'll get back to you shortly." appears. Type ;addr → your full office address appears. Type ;sig → your name, job title and phone number appear. Type ;bank → your payment details appear. It works in any text box on the websites you choose: email, chat, forms, comment boxes, help-desk tools and more. ON YOUR PHONE TOO In Firefox for Android it works the same way: type ;thanks with your phone's keyboard and your message appears on any page. Type ; and the list of your shortcuts appears: tap one and you're done. Even if the keyboard adds a capital letter or a space at the end, the shortcut is recognized. IDEAS TO START WITH • Customer support: ;hi (greeting), ;wait ("Give me a moment, I'm checking"), ;refund, ;close. • Sales: ;price, ;quote, ;followup, ;bank (payment details). • Business chat: ;hours, ;location, ;catalog, ;shipping. • Email: ;sig, ;intro, ;attached ("Please find the file attached. Let me know if you have questions"). • Teachers: ;homework, ;welldone, ;meeting. • Freelancers: ;proposal, ;invoice, ;rates. • Recruiters: ;interview, ;decline, ;offer. • Personal: ;mail (your email), ;cell (your number), ;home (your address). HOW IT WORKS, IN 3 STEPS 1. Click the icon and click "Turn on for every site". 2. Create a shortcut: give it a name and type the text. The abbreviation is suggested for you. 3. Type the abbreviation in any text box and the text appears. Didn't mean it? Ctrl+Z undoes it. NOTHING TO MEMORIZE • Type ; and a list of your shortcuts appears. Pick one with the arrow keys and Tab, or with the mouse. • Right-click → "Save as snippet": select text you already wrote on any page and save it in two clicks. • Ready-made examples: greetings, shipping, returns, quotes and a signature. • A test box to see how each shortcut turns out before you use it. • Quick copy from the icon, even where you can't type. FREE (no account, forever) • 10 shortcuts, on every site. • Abbreviations are ; plus a word or number right after it (;thanks, ;addr2), so a normal word never changes by accident. • The suggestion list when you type ;, right-click to save, copy from the icon, and export or import everything as a file. PRO (monthly, yearly or lifetime) • Unlimited shortcuts. • Abbreviations with no rules: any key or combination, even a single key. Use . or 1 for your fastest reply, or gr1, //sig, @@addr, #price. The ones that start with a letter or number only work at the start of a word, so they never fire in the middle of another word. • Shortcuts that ask you for details: type ;quote, it asks for the customer and the price, and puts them in place. • Dates that fill themselves in: today, tomorrow, in 3 business days, and the time. • Lists to pick from (size S, M or L) and parts you leave out with a tick. • What you copied, or the text you have selected, inside the shortcut. • Search and paste (Alt+Shift+Space): find a shortcut by its name without leaving the text box. • Folders, how many words you saved, getting back what a shortcut said before, and sharing your shortcuts with your team. If Pro ends, nothing is deleted: your first 10 shortcuts with ; keep working. WHAT IT DOES NOT DO • It doesn't work in Google Docs or Google Slides: they draw text on a canvas, so no extension can type into them. Copy the shortcut from the icon and paste it there. • It never types into password fields, and does nothing on sites you haven't turned on. • It doesn't sync between devices by itself; use export and import to move your shortcuts. PRIVACY No account, no tracking. Your shortcuts, history and stats stay on this device. The extension only checks what you type against your own abbreviations, in memory; it never stores or sends your keystrokes. Web pages can't read your shortcuts, they only see the text you insert. Polar, our authorized reseller, is contacted only if you buy Pro: to turn it on by itself right after you pay, and to check your license key about twice a day. Works in Chrome, Edge and Firefox (Firefox for Android too).
