The browser helper for saved style lines

What it does

Everything on this site produces text you eventually need somewhere else: a style line from the builder, a cleaned tag list, a normalised lyric sheet. The helper closes that last gap. It sits in your browser toolbar, holds the lines you saved, and puts the one you want into the field you are looking at.

• Saved Style lines. Star a line anywhere in the styles library or the builder and it appears in the helper's list.
• One-click insert. On a song form, pick a saved line and the helper types it into the style field for you — no tab-switching, no clipboard juggling.
• Library sync. Your starred lines live in browser storage shared with this site, so the list is the same in both places.
• Quick capture. Select any text on any page and save it as a new line with a keyboard shortcut.
• Folders and tags. Group lines by project, genre or persona, and filter the list as it grows.
• Export and import. Write the whole library out as JSON for backup, or pull a colleague's file in.

Install it

Five minutes, once. One note before you start: if the toolbar icon appears greyed out after loading, the extension installed correctly but has no permission for the current tab — click it once and approve the prompt.

• Download the helper package from the tools hub and unzip it somewhere permanent — the browser loads it from that folder, so don't put it in Downloads.
• Open your browser's extensions page: chrome://extensions in Chrome, Edge or Brave; about:debugging#/runtime/this-firefox in Firefox.
• Turn on Developer mode (Chromium browsers) so unpacked extensions can be loaded.
• Choose Load unpacked and select the folder you unzipped. Firefox users choose Load Temporary Add-on and pick the manifest file.
• Pin the icon to your toolbar so the list is always one click away.
• Open this site once with the helper installed — that first visit is what hands your saved lines across.

Daily use

A habit worth forming: after any generation you are happy with, capture the exact style line that produced it before you change anything. Three weeks later, that archive is the difference between reproducing a sound and guessing at it.

Permissions, and why each one exists

• Storage — to keep your saved lines in the browser. This is the only place they exist.
• Active tab — to read your text selection when you press the capture shortcut, and to insert text into a focused field. It acts on the tab you are looking at, only when you ask it to.
• Clipboard write — for the copy action.
• There is no host permission for arbitrary sites, no background network access, and nothing that would let the helper read pages you have not asked it to act on.

Troubleshooting

• List is empty after install. Open this site once in the same browser profile, then reopen the helper. The sync happens on that first visit.
• Insert does nothing. The target field has to be focused first. Click into it, then click the line.
• Shortcut conflicts with another extension. Rebind it on your browser's keyboard-shortcuts page; the helper accepts any free combination.
• Lines disappeared. Clearing site data or browsing in a private window removes them. Restore from your last export — another reason to export occasionally.
• Firefox forgets it after restart. Temporary add-ons are unloaded on exit by design; reload the folder, or install a signed build when one is available.
