Save frequently-entered text for pasting later.
Extension Metadata




Saves and manages frequently-entered text for later pasting into web page forms in Firefox or email and newsgroup messages in Thunderbird. Pasting a clipping is accomplished with just two mouse clicks, eliminating the hassle of retyping or repetitive copying and pasting.
Thunderbird users can download Clippings for Thunderbird from the AE Creations website (http://aecreations.sourceforge.net/clippings/install.php).
Features:
• Easily create a clipping from selected text in a form field or web page body (Firefox), or from selected text in an email or newsgroup message (Thunderbird)
• Paste clippings into form fields (Firefox) or new email or newsgroup messages (Thunderbird) from the Clippings context menu. Individual clippings can be pasted as rich text if they contain HTML tags.
• Save the source web page address (URL) with the clipping
• Make your important clippings stand out with color labels
• Assign shortcut keys to clippings for quicker pasting. To insert a clipping using the keyboard, press ALT+SHIFT+Y (Command+Option+Y on macOS), then the shortcut key. The keyboard paste key can be changed from Clippings preferences.
• Locate the clipping you want to paste by typing its name and selecting it from an autocomplete menu
• Define placeholders inside a clipping that you will be prompted to fill in when pasting the clipping. Built-in placeholders for the date, time, clipping name, user agent, etc. are also available.
• Organize your collection of clippings into folders using Clippings Manager
• Import and export clippings in a variety of file formats
