It seems that you can only expand the shortcuts within the window of the extension, not in other fields in the browser, so unfortunately this has limited usefulness.

You are the worst ever. You have erased the old tool to have a new tool with the same name. I was shocked that it didn't work and all my data got lost!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Only works in the settings page. Literally the only place I can get the text to replace is in the box that says "Type your shortcuts here!"
