  CodeCompose makes sharing code in Gmail effortless. Instead of pasting raw, unformatted code into emails, CodeCompose lets you highlight any code in the Gmail compose window, right-click, and instantly insert a beautifully formatted, syntax-highlighted code block.
  
  FEATURES
  
  → Right-click to insert — highlight your code, right-click, and select "Insert Code Block"
  → Auto language detection — automatically identifies JSON, JavaScript, TypeScript, Python, SQL, HTML, and CSS
  → Syntax highlighting — color-coded output for 7 programming languages
  → 5 built-in themes — Dark, Dracula, Light, GitHub, and Monokai
  → Live preview — see exactly how your code block will look before inserting
  → Fully customizable — choose your theme, font size, default language, and label visibility from the settings page
