Troubleshooting

Copied text doesn't appear in the popup

Refresh the tab where you copied the text. Chrome only injects the content script on newly loaded pages. Also make sure the “Capture” toggle is enabled in the popup header.

Copies from Chrome's address bar aren't captured

This is a Chrome sandbox limitation. Extensions cannot observe copies made in Chrome's own UI, PDF viewer, chrome:// pages, or other applications.

Snippet expansion doesn't work

Some sites use custom editors (e.g. Google Docs' canvas renderer) that don't expose keystrokes to extensions. Snippet expansion works in standard <input>, <textarea>, and contenteditable fields.
