For more info, visit the Help section inside the app, or watch the promo video on this page.

⋆Snippets⋆ - expand abbreviations Define custom abbreviations, and expand them by simply pressing the hotkey (default: Shift+Space). It can be even a full-length email to your customer! Example: "brb" can expand to "Be right back!" Think of these as "canned responses".

⋆Placeholders⋆ - fields (inside snippets) which can be given dynamic values on using the snippet. Example: snippet "wishBday", which you can use to wish your friends Happy Birthday! Since the name of the friend keeps changing, so you can add a placeholder in the snippet body, as "%name%" (without quotes). It'll be auto-highlighted whenever you use the snippet and you can type your friend's name into it.

⋆Mathomania⋆ - do math without leaving your text editor, and without calculators. Simply type the math expression inside the [[ and ]] and press = to get the results. (watch the promo video for details) Parentheses and exponentiation is also supported. Example: "[[ 15% * 600 =]]" gives "90" and "[[ (5+6) * 15^2 =]]" gives "2475".

⋆Omnibox support⋆ - use the keyword "pk" to directly expand snippets inside of the omnibox/address bar.

⋆Clipboard access⋆ - use [[%p]] anywhere in your snippet body, it is auto-replaced with the current clipboard data.

⋆Date/Time Macros⋆ - embed short symbols (inside a snippet body) which are auto-replaced their current date and time. Multiple date and time formats are supported.

⋆Date/Time Arithmetic⋆ - can be used to move forward or backward in time in the date and time macros. Supports both relative and independent evaluation of the symbols.

⋆Variables⋆ - quickly type date, time, browser version without having to leave your text editor or look at the clock!

⋆Auto-Insert⋆ - Quotes ('"') and braces - ( { [ -are auto-completed, and you can specify your custom insert-it-for-me symbols as well (like, inserting a '>' on typing of a '<') in the settings.

⋆Tab Key⋆ - can be used to insert 4 spaces, instead of its default function, thus speeding up your work.

Notes:

  • All your data is stored on your PC (or synced across your Chrome sign-ins) and nothing is sent to any external servers! Check the source code if you wish to - https://github.com/GaurangTandon/ProKeys
  • You can disable ProKeys for particular websites in the Settings.
  • You can take a backup of your data, restore it, and print it as well.
  • You are sure of not losing your data as ProKeys stores (on your PC) past 20 revisions of your data.
  • You can switch between Sync and Local storage.

Note that the following few web apps are known to be incompatible:

  1. Facebook (only comments and profile posts)/Messenger/Quora - uses improper text editor.
  2. Google Docs - as it is a full-fledged editor itself. (But Google Docs comments section works)

Contact me at [email protected] if you know of a dynamic web app that's missing from the list above, or to give feedback.

Also note that the input of type email and number do not support caret manipulation so ProKeys can't function there (and neither does it work in password fields, for obvious reasons).
