Shortcuts — Text Expander
Description from store

Shortcuts is a text expander for Chrome. Save the text you type over and over — signatures, replies, links, addresses — give each one a short trigger such as ;sig, and type that trigger in any text field on any website. The trigger is replaced with the full text the moment you finish it.

How it works
• Create a shortcut in the popup or on the management page (right-click the icon → Options).
• Type its trigger in a text box on any site — Gmail, LinkedIn, support tools, forms — and it expands in place.
• Add {{date}} to insert today's date, {{clipboard}} to paste what you copied, or {{First Name}} to be asked for a value each time.
• Press Ctrl+Shift+S (Cmd+Shift+S on Mac) to open your shortcuts without reaching for the mouse.

Your shortcuts are stored in your account and synced between the extension and the web dashboard at shortcuts-app.com, so they follow you across devices. They are cached locally, so expansion keeps working offline. Import and export are available for moving from another tool.

Requires a free account (sign in with Google, LinkedIn, or email). The free plan includes 20 expansions per month; Pro removes the limit for $2.99 per month or $29.99 per year.

The extension reads only the text field you are typing in, never sends page content anywhere, and stays off in password fields.

Really clean and smooth UI. Everything feels fast, intuitive, and well-designed. The animations and overall experience make it a pleasure to use!
