Description

Create custom keyboard shortcuts to expand and replace text as you type. Ever get tired of typing out long email addresses, phrases you frequently use, or just looking to save keystrokes as you type? Well fear not! Auto Text Expander is here to solve that -- kinda like TextExpander for Mac or AutoText for Windows, but installed and synced across Chrome browsers! This free extension adds basic javascript to your pages to check if your last set of consecutive keystrokes matches any of any number of custom shortcuts you can define and expands and replaces that text as you type. Save time, typos, and the satisfaction of being extra lazy!

It's very simple and I wanted it to work, but you have to click 'Active' on every email you compose and the inserted text is repeated and jumbled with my normal email signature. Also, it does not work if you're composing the email in it's own window (ie: not within the Gmail Inbox window)

It works, but not across Chrome/any website you need it to on without giving permission for each individual site... It's faster to just type it than to click "Active" on every unique URL! (may be Chrome's fault, but defeats purpose of extension.
