Using SimpleFill

Quick Access

One keyboard shortcut to search every snippet, form, Smart Field, and AI action, without leaving the page.

Quick Access is a search box for everything you’ve saved. Press one keyboard shortcut on any page, type a word or two, and press Enter. It’s the easiest way to use SimpleFill when you don’t remember a shortcut, or don’t want to.

Open Quick Access

OnPress
Mac⌘ Shift Space
Windows, Linux, ChromeOSCtrl Shift Space

Or click the SimpleFill icon in your browser’s toolbar.

What you can find

Quick Access searches:

  • Snippets, by name, shortcut, folder, and text
  • Saved forms that match the current page, shown as Fill and the form’s name
  • AI actions, which run on the text box you were in
  • Smart Fields you can type on a page, like the date or the page’s link
  • Commands, like Save current form…, Open Snippets, Open AI Actions, Open SimpleFill settings, and Open Import / Export

Use it

  1. Click in the text box you want to fill.
  2. Open Quick Access.
  3. Type to search. Use the Up and Down arrows to choose.
  4. Press Enter.

SimpleFill inserts the result where your cursor was. If you had text selected, only the selection is replaced. Press Esc to close without doing anything.

Smart suggestions

Before you type anything, Quick Access shows Suggested items for the box you’re in. It reads the field’s label and type, so an Email field puts your email snippet at the top. Things you use often rank higher too.

It can also put separate snippets together. If a folder has snippets named for the parts, Quick Access offers:

  • Full name, from first and last name
  • Full address, from street, city, state, postal code, and country
  • Phone number with extension
  • Date of birth, from day, month, and year, in the format the page asks for
  • Card expiration date, from month and year

Works where shortcuts don’t

Quick Access works on sites where you’ve turned off shortcuts or suggestions with site rules, and in tricky editors like Google Docs and editors embedded in other apps.

Examples

  • Focus an email field, open Quick Access, and press Enter: your email is in.
  • Type invoice and press Enter to insert your invoice template.
  • On a checkout page, choose Save current form… to save your address for next time.
  • Select a paragraph, open Quick Access, type summ, and press Enter to summarize it with AI.
