Lightning Autofill v12.15.0 released

This update fixes all known issues with the Firefox version, including the pesky “you did not grant the ‘downloads’ permission” export bug. It also has a cool new feature that I’ve been meaning to add since 2015 from one of my other projects: Autocomplete.

The autocomplete / text expansion feature is still very much in an experimental state, so it’s going to be hit-or-miss, especially in text editor components and other “rich” input fields that use content editable divs instead of standard <input> and <textarea> tags. Here’s a quick video tutorial on how to use this feature:

💡 TIP: Starting with this version, you can now use variables in your text clips! For example, if you defined the variable name = Bob (Variables tab), then you can have a text clip like this:

Name
{@name}

When you select the Name text clip (from the context menu or through autocompletion), it will output “Bob”.

Changelog:

  • Added support for variables in text clips
  • Added autocomplete / text expansion ability (experimental)
  • Added timestamp to default export CSV filename
  • Improved label parsing in rules generator
  • Removed optional “downloads” permission
  • Fixed settings not synced to local pages (file:///)
  • Fixed JavaScript errors in Options (Firefox)
  • Fixed context menu missing after browser restart (Firefox)
  • Fixed backend issue where some subscriptions invalidated
  • Fixed Google account disconnection issue in Chrome (thanks, Mike!)
