Prompt Locker Pro: Complete User Guide

Prompt Locker Pro is a comprehensive text management tool designed to store, organize, and execute your most-used content directly from your browser. Whether you are working with AI tools, writing documentation, or managing customer responses, this extension keeps your locked templates, versioned edits, and clipboard history just one click away.

1. Core Capabilities & New Features

At its core, Prompt Locker Pro allows you to store unlimited text in a flexible library, create reusable templates with dynamic placeholders, track document versions, and execute content with real-time text resolution.

Major Additions in v3.0

• Template Runner: A dedicated workspace for executing templates with real-time text input and clipboard output.
• Diff Engine: Visually compare versions of templates and prompts to track changes over time.
• Favorites System: Create quick-access groups of prompts or stacks to streamline your workflow.
• Multi-Select & Reorder: Use Ctrl to select multiple cards or stacks to move, reorder, or delete them in bulk.
• Refactored UI Density: Stacks now occupy roughly half the vertical space of prompt cards, improving visual scanning.
• View Filtering: Filter content directly in the main library, Basement, and quick menus for a focused experience.
• Template System:

The Speed Dial (New in v3.5)

• Radial Interface: An optional, on-demand clipboard menu designed for rapid access to recently copied text.
• High Capacity: Displays up to 27 clipboard entries around the dial simultaneously.
• Live Monitoring: Automatically monitors clipboard changes while the active browser page is focused.
• Instant Sync: New clipboard content is added to your history automatically and appears immediately in the dial.

2. Why Prompt Locker Exists

The standard system clipboard is limited to a handful of items and is easily overwritten. At the same time, users are forced to constantly retype the same emails, explanations, and prompts across different tabs.

Prompt Locker Pro eliminates this friction by replacing the fragile system clipboard with a permanent, organized library. It turns repetitive typing into an organized, versioned, and instantly reusable system.

Voice-Enabled Efficiency

Template execution is fully voice-enabled through integrated dictation. Instead of typing the same variables repeatedly, you can speak naturally into placeholder fields, utilize automatic punctuation, and complete long-form templates hands-free.

3. The Two Workspaces

Prompt Locker Pro includes two synchronized workspaces designed for different styles of work. Both share the exact same content and update in real time.

4. Saving Text

• Capturing content is fast, flexible, and capable of handling everything from single words to full book chapters without truncation.
• Highlight-to-Copy: Automatically captures text simply by highlighting it.
• Ctrl + Select Replace: Instantly overwrites existing text with your current clipboard content.
• Debugging Paste: A powerful fallback mode that enables pasting on highly restrictive websites.
• Quick Capture (Alt + Q): Instantly captures selected text on any webpage and automatically titles the prompt using the first line of text.
• Drag to Save: Highlight text on any website and drag it directly into the popup or sidebar to create a new prompt card.
• Group Creation: Dragging in multiple separated text items automatically creates a dedicated folder containing individual prompt cards for each item.

5. Drag and Drop Mechanics

• Speed Dial Dragging: Drag any text entry directly from the Speed Dial into a text field.
• Multi-Select Drag: Hold Ctrl to drag multiple cards or stacks simultaneously.
• Text Field Insertion: Drag any prompt card from the workspace into a text field to insert it at the cursor position using the Universal Text Insertion Engine (UTIE+).
• Full Folder Insertion: Drag an entire folder into a text field to paste the combined content of all prompts inside it sequentially.
• Frozen Tooltip Dragging: Hold Ctrl to freeze a folder's hover tooltip, allowing you to safely drag items out of deeply nested structures.

6. Folders and Organization

• Nested Folders: Supports unlimited levels of folder hierarchy to build deep, structured systems (e.g., Project > Module > Feature > Snippets).
  Folder Tooltips: Hover over any folder to view a complete preview of its contents without opening it.
• Anchoring: Duplicate prompts or stacks into the Basement while keeping them accessible in the main library.
• Favorites: Curate up to five specific workflows for rapid switching without duplicating the underlying content.

7. Search, Menus, & Clipboard History

Your clipboard history retains up to 2,000 items, preventing the loss of important text and allowing you to easily convert old clipboard items into permanent prompts by dragging them into the sidebar.

The Speed Dial (Alt + Left Click)

When Speed Dial is enabled, holding Alt and left-clicking inside a text field summons your clipboard history in a radial fan directly at your cursor. You can click an entry to paste it, drag it to another destination, or use the dial controls to clear your history, chain paste items in sequence, or permanently dock the dial to the corner of your screen.

The Quick Menu (Alt + Right Click)

Using Alt + Right Click inside a text field opens the main Prompt Locker library directly at your cursor. If Speed Dial is disabled in your settings, Alt + Left Click will open your extended clipboard history in this traditional menu format instead.

8. Advanced Workspace Tools

• Template System: Templates contain tokenized placeholders that dictate exactly what text can be edited, ensuring consistency. Every structural change creates a new, trackable version.
• Template Runner: A dedicated execution environment where static text is locked and only placeholders are editable. Output is sent directly to the clipboard without altering the original template.
• The Hopper: A temporary staging workspace to capture, experiment with, and review content before committing it to your permanent library.
• The Basement: An archival zone that removes anchored reference materials from your main library view while keeping them fully searchable and draggable.
• Prompt Builder: A structured authoring environment that separates content creation from execution. Templates can only be built here to prevent accidental inline edits.
• Diff Engine: A built-in version tracking system that records what changed, where it changed, and how similar a new version is to a previous one.
• Clean Slate Mode: A bulk-deletion tool for resetting your workspace or clearing large libraries. It is fully template-aware and safely manages version histories.
