The tools
Inserting into the page
Modula inserts your text into the fields of most websites: webmails, CRMs, support tools, social networks, document editors. It recognises the editor in place and uses the right technique so the text arrives as intended.
In the fields of most websites Starter
Gmail, Outlook on the web, Notion, Confluence, contact forms, comment fields, the rich text editors of CRMs and support tools: a SmartText is inserted at the cursor, with its formatting when the editor accepts it.
| Editor | Support |
|---|---|
Plain fields (input, textarea), including inside frames (iframes) | Full |
| Classic rich editors: Gmail, Outlook on the web, Notion, Confluence… | Full |
| CKEditor 4 and 5, Quill | Full |
| CodeMirror 5 and 6, Monaco (VS Code on the web, GitHub Codespaces) | Full |
| TinyMCE, Froala, Trix and other unrecognised editors | Partial: insertion goes through a generic method, formatting may be lost |
Formatting or plain text Basic
In a rich editor, the SmartText arrives with its bold, headings and lists. In a plain field, it arrives as plain text: lists become lines starting with “-” or “1.”, indented by two spaces per level.
Where the cursor goes after insertion Expert
By default, the cursor goes to the end of the inserted text. A Cursor field in the SmartText puts it elsewhere: where you need to pick up typing.
Where nothing gets inserted Basic
- Chrome's internal pages (
chrome://…) and the Chrome Web Store are closed to every extension. - A page opened before Modula was installed must be reloaded once.
- The Expander doesn't work in some isolated fields; the other tools do.
