Version 5.0.0
I'm pleased to announce Paste It version 5.0, the biggest update since I launched the Chrome extension 11 years ago. Here's everything that's new:
- Paste It has been rebuilt to support extension Manifest V3, using service workers and the new promise-based APIs. This ensures continued support for Paste It when Google deprecates support for Manifest 2.0 extensions in 2023.
- Increased Alternate Paste text fields from 3 to 5, for a maximum of 6 text fields with the primary text.
- New option to "Show Alternate Paste Text in context menu flyout", supporting all 5 Alternate Paste text fields in addition to the primary text.
- Fix to keep the cursor focus in the same place when pasting in the middle of an input field.
- Updated UI on the Options page with improved accessibility to assist Screen Readers.
- The Brave Browser now links to "brave://extensions/shortcuts" on the Options page. Brave users can install Paste it from the Chrome Web Store and syncing will be supported via the Brave Sync Chain.
- Updated jQuery to 3.6.0 and performance enhancements.
Paste It 5.0 can be installed for free from the Chrome Web Store or Edge Add-ons.
The Chrome version of Paste It recently reached 20,000 users with daily installs higher than ever, while the Edge version continues to grow with over 1000 users so far. I hope you enjoy the latest update, and remain committed to providing Paste It as a free extension with no ads, tracking or paywalled features. Reviews and feedback are always welcome.
