This lightweight extension prevents Slack from sending a typing status to channels and private messages.
Slack Hide Typing: Keep Your Typing Status Hidden on Slack
'Slack Hide Typing' is a simple yet effective Chrome extension designed to prevent the Slack website from alerting other users when you are typing. While you retain the ability to see when others are typing, the extension ensures your typing status remains private unless they're also using this tool. The source is available on GitHub at: https://github.com/andrewconner/slack-hide-typing.

User reviews
This extension should be an (official) option inside Slack. I'm glad that I found it – it greatly reduces my team anxiety when writing long notes :-)
