I love finding new extensions that do things I never even thought to search for. One of the best ways to find things is through word of mouth, tho. In this case, I guess you can call it \u201cword of blog\u201d. I\u2019m doing a series of blog posts about the extensions I use, and maybe you\u2019ll see one that you want to use.<\/p>\n

The first one is Context Search, which I’ve already blogged about<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The second is Clippings<\/strong>. Clippings allows you to keep pieces of text to paste on demand. If you frequently answer email messages with one of a set of replies, you can paste which reply you want to use using the context menu. In my case, I take part in support forums, which means I have to respond to frequently asked questions, typing the same answers frequently. Clippings allows me to have canned responses, so I can answer more support questions in less time.<\/p>\n

To save a piece of text as a clipping, select it, then right-click and go to “Clippings”<\/em>, then “New from Selection<\/em>“. You’ll then be asked to name the clipping and where to save it among your list of clippings. It supports folders too.
\n\"\"<\/p>\n

When you want to use that clipping just right-click on the text area, then go to “Clippings<\/em>” and select the clipping you want to paste.

Clippings is also very useful in Mozilla Thunderbird<\/a>.<\/p>\n

You can install it via the Mozilla Add-ons site<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
