  description

  WebStorage Pro is a developer-focused browser extension that provides a faster, more visual way to manage localStorage and sessionStorage than Chrome DevTools.
  
  
  ## Features
  
  - Visual list
    - Reads the current tab’s `localStorage` and `sessionStorage`
    - Displays key–value entries in clean, card-style rows
    - Shows per-type item counts directly on the tabs
  
  - Efficient interactions
    - Fast search with a clear button
    - Smart copy
      - Click the value pill to copy only the value
      - Click the copy icon to copy a JSON object: `{"key":"value"}`
    - Export data to JSON with timestamp and source URL
  
  - Data management
    - Add and edit entries (supports renaming keys)
    - Safe delete with confirmation
    - Clear all for the active storage type with high-risk confirmation
    - Duplicate key detection with overwrite confirmation
  
  - UX details
    - Dark/Light theme with system preference by default; manual toggle available and remembered
    - Auto-scroll and highlight after adding a new item (edits do not change scroll position)
    - Clear toast feedback for actions (copy, save, delete, export)
    - ESC closes modals (respects stacking and won’t accidentally close the popup)

  ## ✨ Features
  
  ### Storage inspection & editing
  
  - **LocalStorage / SessionStorage** tabs with **item counts** for the active type.
  - **Search** keys with live filtering and a clear control; **Refresh** reloads data from the page.
  - **CRUD**: add, edit (including **rename via key**), delete items; **clear all** for the current type (with confirmation).
  - **Duplicate keys:** overwrite confirmation when saving would conflict with an existing key.
  - **Live page change detection:** the popup automatically detects in-page Storage changes and highlights **added / updated / deleted** items (auto-resets after 2s).
  - **Restricted pages** (`chrome://`, `edge://`, `about:`, etc.): error state and disabled actions.
  
  ### Copy & export
  
  - Click **Value** to copy the value; click **Key** to copy the key.
  - Row **copy** button: copies a JSON object `{"key":"value"}` for pasting elsewhere.
  - **Export:** downloads JSON with timestamp and page URL.
  
  ### Add / edit dialog
  
  - Standard **Key** and **Value** fields.
  - Optional **JSON object** field: paste e.g. `{"myKey":"myValue"}`; on blur or after paste, valid objects **fill Key / Value** (first key if several; non-string values use `JSON.stringify` for the value field).
  - Supports **Single / Bulk** modes:
    - **Single** for one item add/edit;
    - **Bulk** for JSON object import with conflict handling (overwrite or skip).
  
  ### Multi-select & batch actions
  
  - Enter **Select** mode to select multiple items from the current list.
  - Batch **Copy / Export / Delete** for selected items.
  - Quick select-all (based on current filter) and clear-selection controls.
  
  ### Undo
  
  - A **10-second undo window** is available for destructive operations (single-slot, last action only):
    - single delete, batch delete, clear current storage type;
    - overwrite writes (single overwrite and bulk overwrite).
  - Success toasts provide an **Undo (10s)** action; it expires automatically.
  
  ### 📌 Popup vs Side Panel (pin)
  
  - Click the **pin** to **pin** the **current tab**: opens the extension in the **Chrome Side Panel** and remembers this tab.
  - **Multiple tabs** can be pinned; the side panel **follows the active tab** and refreshes the list and pin state.
  - Unpin removes the current tab from the set; if the active tab is not pinned, the toolbar icon uses the **normal popup** again.
  - When the tab is pinned and no modal is open, **Escape** is intercepted so the side panel does not close by mistake (modals still close with Esc first).
  
  ### 🌓 Appearance & feedback
  
  - **Dark / Light** theme: follows the system by default; manual choice is remembered.
  - **Toasts** for copy, save, delete, export, and JSON validation.
