String pasting extension?

PopClip Extensions
1

I was wondering if an extension already exists which keeps a certain text string stored at all times, and by clicking a single button, that string gets pasted wherever the cursor is.

This could work with any text that needs to be repeatedly written, and by being able to paste it with just a click, you never need to write the text over and over. My personal intended use was with my email, which I often need to write in multiple scenarios, but if I could just right click on a text box and select an extension in PopClip, I would never have to write my entire email again.

This would not only save time, but also avoid typos.

You could actually make this with a quick snippet:

// #popclip
// name: Paste Email
// icon: "@"
// requirements: [paste]
// language: javascript
popclip.pasteText("myemail@example.com")

(The above block is an extension snippet — select it then click “Install Extension” in PopClip.)

Now, if there was a way of having a collection of favorite strings that one could choose between, I could stop using Clipboard History’s favorites for this.
