TextTemplateManager 2.3.3

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

In-app updates that arrive reliably, also on PCs where automatic Store updates are turned off.

Fixed

  • Check for updates could say "Up to date" although a new version was out. The Microsoft Store answers an app only one update check every 30 minutes and ten a day, and otherwise repeats its last answer. TextTemplateManager now keeps to these limits, also across restarts, and when you check sooner, Settings ▸ General ▸ Updates says when the next check is possible. Checks by others (the Microsoft Store app, winget) count too: when the Store refuses a check for that reason, TextTemplateManager now says so instead of "Up to date".
  • On PCs with automatic Store updates turned off, a new version didn't show up as ready. Windows Update often downloads it there anyway, but TextTemplateManager didn't notice and tried winget instead, which can't update it, and then said the download had finished. It now finds a version Windows has downloaded and offers Restart to update; winget is no longer used.
  • While downloading, Settings showed "Downloading version Version ...". It now says "Downloading the update".

Improved

  • Check for updates downloads a new version right away. Where automatic Store updates are turned off, the Microsoft Store asks once first; if it can't download on your PC, TextTemplateManager says so and the update comes through Windows Update.
  • Clearer update texts in Settings ▸ General ▸ Updates, in the update notice in the main window and in the tray notice.
