About Gmail URL Paste
Convert selected text into clickable links when you paste URLs in Gmail and Google Calendar.
How it works:
1. Select text in a Gmail compose window or Google Calendar event description
2. Paste a URL from your clipboard
3. The selected text becomes a hyperlink pointing to that URL (Tada!)
Benefits:
- Saves you time to manually open link formatting dialog
- More similiar behaviour to apps you already use (e.g Slack, Notion, etc.)
