Clipboard String Magic

Download extension

Puts a user customized string into the clipboard, that can include run time javascript.Clipboard String Magic helps you get a frequently used string into your clipboard to save you time. You customize the string in options, including optional javascript code (to get real time, time-stamps for example) and then with one click your clipboard is populated.

I created Clipboard String Magic to help me paste a specific String into Rally Software (a web based project management tool). I needed to type:

NAME TIMESTAMP

Many times a day. Now all I have to do is click one button and then paste. It saves me time, and I get more accurate timestamps too.

My values are:

Pre - NAME
Mid -
MidJS - new Date().toLocaleString()
Suf - :

Which generates a string like:

NAME Tue Nov 26 3:03:52 GMT -0700 (MST)
