Clippings — AE Creations

Saves and manages frequently-entered text for later pasting into web page forms in Firefox or email messages in Thunderbird. Pasting a clipping is accomplished with just two mouse clicks, eliminating the hassle of retyping or repetitive copying and pasting.

Features:

• Create a clipping from selected text in a form field or web page body in Firefox

• Easy access to your clippings from the Clippings context menu in a web page form field. Individual clippings can be pasted as formatted text if they contain HTML tags.

• Save the web page address (URL) with the new clipping

• Make your important clippings stand out with color labels

• Assign shortcut keys to clippings for quicker pasting. Just press ALT+SHIFT+Y (Command+Shift+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.
