How Typeless Works
Watch this video to learn how to use Typeless to save time and be more productive with your text input.
Typeless Tool
A powerful and customizable tool that allows you to quickly insert predefined text templates in any application using hotkeys. Perfect for content creators, customer service representatives, or anyone who frequently uses repetitive text patterns.
Features
- Global Hotkeys: Access your templates from any application
- Window-Specific Templates: Different templates for different applications
- Dark Theme Interface: Easy on the eyes during long sessions
- Quick Search: Instantly find and insert your templates
- Customizable Templates: Easy to create and modify JSON template files
Template Setup
Text templates are stored in JSON files in the templates
folder. Each template file should follow this structure:
{
"template_names": ["Window Name 1", "Window Name 2"],
"templates": {
"template1": "Your first template text here",
"template2": "Your second template text here"
}
}
template_names are the strings that appear in the window name you have opened. When pressing the hotkey combination with the window selected, you have access to the text templates stored in the templates
dictionary for that specific window.
Creating New Databases
- Go to the window you want to create the database for
- Press Ctrl+i or Ctrl+alt+i to trigger the database creation window
- Follow the instruction in the window
Troubleshooting
- If templates aren't showing up, check if at least part of the window title matches any of your
template_names
- Ensure your JSON files are properly formatted
- Check if the
templates
folder is in the same directory as the script
Frequently Asked Questions
Getting Started
The most common causes are:
- Conflicting software: Another application might be using Ctrl+i or Ctrl+Alt+i
- Application not running: Check the task manager for Typeless
Typeless works with any Windows application that accepts text input and has a window title. It's completely universal!
Configuration & Setup
Use part of the window title that you see in the taskbar:
- For "Notepad - Document.txt" → use "notepad"
- For "inbox - Gmail" → use "inbox"
Keep names lowercase and use partial matches. You can add multiple window title names to share the templates across multiple windows: ["notepad", "notepad++", "text editor"]
Currently, all template files must be in the root templates/ folder. However, you can organize by creating multiple JSON files for different purposes (e.g., coding.json, email.json, support.json).
Simply share the JSON files! Team members can:
- Copy the files to their templates/ folder
Usage & Features
You can format the text as you want when you add a new template using Ctrl+Alt+i. The format you'll apply will be kept for that template.
Yes! Template Manager supports full UTF-8 encoding, so you can use:
- Special characters: ©, ®, ™
- Emojis: 🚀, ✅, ⚠️
- International characters: café, naïve, résumé
