Text fields

SlashNijo opens in the field you are typing in: text areas, contenteditable editors, and common text inputs.

mail.google.com

Type // where you already write. The menu is anchored to the caret. It works in the page and in iframes, including editors that keep their text inside a shadow tree.

Where the menu opens

  • Text areas.
  • Fields marked as editable, the kind Notion, Gmail, and Slack use.
  • Inputs of type text, search, url, email, and tel.

Fields it leaves alone

  • Password, number, date, and other inputs that are not plain text.
  • Read-only or disabled fields.
  • Fields that are hidden, or smaller than a few pixels.

If nothing opens

  • The extension has to be installed and allowed on the site.
  • The caret has to be in a field from the list above. A password box will not open the menu.
  • //# is a Pro filter. On Free it does not open the snippet list. Use // or emoji with //:.
  • If the key uses a character that is not a letter, number, -, or _, the snippet menu does not treat it as a key. See Keys.

Write it once. Type // forever.

Install the extension. The same shortcuts work in every tab.
