TypeLess is a lightweight browser extension that helps you stop retyping the same responses. Create templates once, paste them anywhere with a keyboard shortcut, slash command, or quick menu.

Three ways to paste
<ul><li><strong>Keyboard shortcuts</strong> — Ctrl+Shift+1, 2, 3 for your top templates</li><li><strong>Popup menu</strong> — Click the icon or press Ctrl+Shift+T</li><li><strong>Slash commands</strong> — Type /shortcut followed by space in any text field</li></ul>
Features
<ul><li><strong>Placeholder forms</strong> — Use {{variable_name}} in templates and a form will ask for the values when pasting</li><li><strong>Works on any site</strong> — Plain text inputs, textareas, and rich editors (TinyMCE, CKEditor, Quill)</li><li><strong>Bilingual</strong> — English and Turkish, auto-detected from browser language</li><li><strong>Import / Export</strong> — Share your templates as JSON files</li><li><strong>100% private</strong> — No account required, no cloud sync, no analytics. All data stays in your browser.</li></ul>
Use cases
<ul><li>IT helpdesk and ticket systems (ServiceNow, Jira, Zendesk)</li><li>Customer support email templates</li><li>Recurring messages in Gmail, Outlook Web, Slack Web</li><li>Standard code snippets or SQL queries in web-based tools</li><li>Any web form where you type the same thing repeatedly</li></ul>
