TextTemplateManager 2.0.1

A hotkey-driven text-template paste tool for Windows: organize reusable snippets in folders, give them shortcuts, and paste them into any application from a global Quick Paste window.

Install

Get TextTemplateManager from the Microsoft Store. The Store installs and updates it; no administrator rights are needed. In a company it can also be deployed with winget or Intune (see the Administrator & Deployment Guide below).

Coming from TextTemplateManager 1: your templates and settings are backed up at the first start and imported in one step if you choose so; version 1's data folder is left as it was.

Note — Remote Desktop (RDP): If TextTemplateManager runs on both your local computer and a remote computer you connect to over RDP, the global Quick Paste hotkey always opens Quick Paste on the local computer — Windows delivers a registered global hotkey locally, so it never reaches the remote session. Give each machine a different Quick Paste hotkey, or run only one instance, to avoid the clash.

What's new in this release

Fixes for synced folders, restoring backups, the editor and the guided tour.

Security

  • Pasting into the editor. Pasting specially crafted HTML, for example from a web page, could run script in the editor or freeze it. Both are fixed, and the editor's components are up to date.

Fixed

  • Sync files that are briefly locked. A change made elsewhere is no longer missed when the sync file was locked at that moment (for example while OneDrive uploads it); it is read once the file is free.
  • Sync files that can't be written. If your changes can't be saved to a sync file (read-only, or the shared folder refuses writes), a warning now shows on the synced folder and in Settings ▸ Sync. Your changes are kept and saved as soon as the file can be written; no temporary file is left behind.
  • Restoring a backup no longer asks whether to overwrite the file of a read-only synced folder; that file always stays as it is.
  • Guided tour. Screen readers read every step, also once the editor is shown; while Quick Paste shows its part, keys no longer reach the dimmed main window.
  • Screen readers now name the dividers that resize the panes.
