Papercuts 4.0

As well as updating Paste It to version 4.0, this week I will be releasing Papercuts 4.0, the first major update in over 4 years. Here's what's new:

Custom Keyboard Shortcuts

Papercuts 4.0 will allow the keyboard shortcuts to be customised from chrome://extensions/shortcuts. To set keyboard shortcuts, head to the Notebook tab of the Options page and select a shortcut next to the note you wish to assign. If you see "Shortcut X" instead of a key code, you'll first need to go to the chrome://extensions/shortcuts page to set a key.

Due to a restriction in Chrome, the keyboard shortcuts are now limited to 4 notes (previously this was 9). If you require more shortcuts, consider installing Paste It as well, so you can effectively have up to 8 keys assigned in total.

Workaround for Unsupported Input Fields (e.g. Gmail)

As detailed on my previous post, Papercuts 4.0 offers a workaround for pasting on unsupported input fields, such as Gmail or Reddit, instead of silently failing.

Friendlier Permissions and Bug Fixes

When you install Papercuts for the first time you will no longer see a message about the extension reading the data on "all your data on the websites you visit". This was previously only used for the legacy keyboard shortcut method, which now uses a safe and supported Chrome API.

Papercuts 4.0 also contains a number of bug fixes, including some UI issues which caused a second scrollbar to display and the 'Rename Tab' button to be hidden off screen. Both the popup and options pages have received a bit of polish and clean up.

Papercuts can be installed for free from the Chrome Web Store, with the version 4.0 update coming within a few days pending approval from Google. I'm not planning on bringing Papercuts to the Edge Add-ons store, but the Chrome version can be installed on Edge.

Papercuts is both offered 100% free with no ads or paywalled features. Please show your support by leaving a review in the Chrome Web Store or sharing it with your friends.
