Auto-suggestions
Matching snippets appear under a field as you type, ready to insert with a click or the Enter key.
Auto-suggestions find the right snippet as you type, without a shortcut. Start typing in a form field, and SimpleFill shows a dropdown of saved snippets that match. Pick one, and it fills the field.
How it works
- Click in an input box, like a Name or Email field on a form.
- Start typing. SimpleFill shows snippets whose name or text contains what you’ve typed.
- Press the Down arrow to highlight a suggestion and Enter to fill it, or click it.
Nothing is highlighted until you press Down, so pressing Enter on its own still does whatever it normally would, like submitting a search.
Where suggestions appear
By default, suggestions appear in single-line input boxes and show single-line snippets. You can widen that in Settings:
| Setting | What it changes |
|---|---|
| Include multi-line text in auto-suggestions | Also suggests multi-line and rich snippets |
| Show auto-suggestions in textarea fields | Also shows suggestions in larger text areas |
| Add a tab when using auto-suggestions dropdown | Moves to the next field after you pick with Enter (on by default) |
Suggestions never appear in password fields.
Turn them off
- Everywhere: switch off Enable auto-suggestions in Settings.
- For one field, for now: close the dropdown. It stays closed for that field until you reload the page.
- On certain sites, pages, or fields: add a site rule.
Auto-suggestions or shortcuts?
Use whichever feels natural. Shortcuts are fastest for the things you use every day. Auto-suggestions shine for details you don’t have a shortcut for, or on long forms where you can glide from field to field.
