TextTemplateManager 2.1.0

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

Selecting several items from the keyboard, exports that keep their folders, and much better support for screen readers.

New

  • Select several items from the keyboard. In the tree, Shift + ↑ / ↓ extends the selection row by row and Ctrl + A selects all visible rows, as in File Explorer.
  • Exporting several items keeps their folders. The file lists them in tree order, each with its folders down from the deepest folder they share: the template f1t4 from folder F1 together with folder F2 gives F1 ▸ f1t4 and F2. Local items and items of a synced folder, or of two synced folders, can't be exported together; the export entries then say (not across areas).
  • Editor toolbar menus by keyboard. Enter opens a button's menu, Tab moves into it (the colors included), Esc closes it. In the table menu, the arrow keys choose the number of rows and columns and Enter inserts the table.

Improved

  • Screen readers. Moving into the editor no longer reads out a long string of random characters. The editor, its toolbar buttons, Quick Paste's tree and shortcut lists, and the controls of the main window and of Settings now have proper names.

Fixed

  • Tab right after moving to another item now goes to that item's fields. Before, especially on the first template opened, it could land in the previous item's fields and then on the File menu.
