How to Use
Note: All instructions and images are in the English locale of the extension, but the interface may change depending on the language set in the user’s operating system and/or browser.
After installing the extension, launch the popup.
Selecting a Language
You will be prompted to select a language from settings/options in a screen that looks like this:
The settings menu is always accessible via the gear icon in the top right of the popup window, as shown below.
Using the Options Page
By default:
-
No language is selected
-
The color mode is dark mode
Both of the settings above can be modified on the options page of the extension, which looks like this:
The sun & moon icons represent the current color state (a sun being light mode and a crescent moon being dark mode). Simply clicking on the icon button will change the state across any page of the extension (popup, options page, and the Full Typing Area).
To change the language, simply click on the desired language and it too will instantly be picked up upon throughout the extension!
Features of the Popup
After selecting a language, the popup from before will have changed to reflect the chosen language.
For example, selecting Spanish will result in the popup looking like this:
Simply click on any of the accented letter or symbol buttons to quickly copy them to your computer’s copy/paste clipboard.
To copy capitalized letters, either press Shift on your keyboard or click the “Uppercase” button.
Full Typing Area (FTA)
The final major utility of this extension is the Full Typing Area (FTA). It is meant to help write longer writing in one place with quick and easy access to the accented letters and symbols you need.
To access the FTA, click on the keyboard icon in the top right of the popup.
Doing so will take you to the FTA page with the buttons pre-set for your chosen language (Spanish, in the case of this guide).
Simply click on any of the accented letter or symbol buttons to insert them in the typing area.
Similar to the popup, pressing Shift or the “Uppercase” button will capitalize all the accented letter buttons and make them insert their capitalized version when clicked.
You are now able to use this extension to the fullest of its capabilities 😎
