Bookmarklet Snippets

Quickly select, copy and paste text that you use often. It's simply a bookmark that shows you a list of text snippets.

What it does

• Shows a window with your saved texts
• Clicking a text copies it to your clipboard
• Shows a message when text is copied
• Easy to set up and use
• You can change the texts anytime

Setting it up

1. Create a text file with your snippets (see example below)
2. Put this file on GitHub, Pastebin or your own server.
3. Show your browser's bookmark bar if it's hidden:
   • Chrome/Edge: Press Ctrl+Shift+B (or ⌘+Shift+B on Mac)
   • Firefox: Right-click the top of the browser and check "Bookmarks Toolbar"
4. Create the bookmark: Right-click your bookmark bar, select "Add new bookmark", name it "Text Snippets", and paste the code from bookmarklet.js into the URL field
5. In the bookmark code, change the TEXT_URL to point to your text file (has to be publicly visible so don't add confidential information in it.)

How to use it

1. Click the bookmark whenever you need your saved texts
2. Choose the text to copy it
3. Paste it wherever you need it

Making changes

Use your own texts

1. Create your text file like shown above
2. Upload it to GitHub, Pastebin or Nextcloud.
3. Get the public or raw link to your file (the file must be accessible by everyone)
4. Change the TEXT_URL in the bookmark code to your link

Does it work in my browser?

Works in all modern browsers:

• Firefox
• Vivaldi
• Brave
• Chrome
• Edge
• Safari

Does it work on all sites?

It should work on most sites, but some like outlook.com will block it from getting the list of snippets.

Need help?

If something's not working:

1. Make sure your text file follows the format exactly and is public
2. If you are using Github check that you're using the "raw" GitHub link
3. Try copying and pasting the bookmark code again
