🔑 KeyPrompt
Cmd-click any field on any website. Pick a saved snippet. It appears.
KeyPrompt is a tiny Chrome extension that lives quietly in your toolbar until you need it. Cmd-click (Mac) or Ctrl-click (Win/Linux) any text field on any website and a small modal pops up with everything you reach for over and over — your name, your work email, your address, that thank-you reply you keep retyping. Pick one and it’s in the field. No copy-paste, no flipping between windows, no autofill warnings.
You can also right-click any field and pick 🔑 Insert with KeyPrompt from the OS context menu — same modal, more discoverable.
Screenshot / demo GIF coming soon — record yourself Cmd+clicking a Gmail compose window, picking an item, and watching it insert. That 8-second loop sells the whole product.
Why?
Every time you fill out the same form fields with the same answers, you’re losing seconds you’ll never get back. KeyPrompt is for the people who notice that. It’s not a password manager — it’s the lighter cousin: a personal clipboard for your life.
Features
- Two ways to summon — Cmd/Ctrl-Click for speed, right-click for discoverability.
- Works on any text field —
<input>,<textarea>,contenteditable, even rich editors like Gmail compose. - Plays nice with React, Vue, Svelte — uses the native value setter and
fires
input/changeevents, so controlled inputs see the change. - Search-as-you-type with arrow-key navigation and ↵ to insert.
- Shadow-DOM isolation — host page styles can’t touch the modal, the modal can’t leak into the host page.
- Local-first storage — your snippets live in
chrome.storage.local(~10 MB). No accounts, no servers, no analytics. - Manage UI with full Import / Export of your vault as JSON.
