Releases: halatsWol/TextTemplateManager
Release list
v1.0.1
Text Template Manager 1.0.1
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
Download TextTemplateManager-Setup-1.0.1.exe from the assets below and run it.
- Per-user install — no administrator rights required.
- Self-contained — the .NET 8 runtime and the Windows App SDK are bundled, so nothing else needs to be installed. The bundled runtime is always the latest .NET 8 release available at the time this version was built.
Already have it installed? The app offers this update automatically, or you can trigger it from Help ▸ Check for Updates.
Note — Remote Desktop (RDP): If Text Template Manager 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
New
- Browser extension now on the Chrome Web Store. The companion extension for the browser connector (TTM-Connect) is available on:
- Chrome Web Store
- Microsoft Edge — coming soon
- Firefox — coming soon
Fixes
- Clicking in the empty area below the text now works. The space under the last line was inactive — it showed the arrow cursor and ignored clicks and typing. The whole editor surface is editable now, so clicking there places the cursor at the end of your text.

What's new in this release
This is the first stable release after the 0.9 beta series.
New
- Open
.ttmdatafiles directly. Double-clicking a.ttmdatafile (or Open with ▸ Text Template Manager) opens the app on Settings ▸ Sync and links the file as a sync source. If it is already linked it is just shown, and the app's own data file is never added. - Set the default app for
.ttmdata. A Set as default for .ttmdata button in Settings ▸ General ▸ File association re-registers the association if another program has taken it over. - Follow links from the editor. Ctrl+click a link in the template editor to open it in your default browser, and hover a link to see where it points. A plain click still just places the cursor for editing.
Changed
- Single instance. Opening a file — or launching the app again — now brings the running window to the front instead of starting a second copy.
.ttmdataeverywhere. Adding a sync source and saving or loading backups now use the.ttmdataformat only, and the Sync + button is now labelled Add. An older.jsonbackup still loads after you rename it to.ttmdata(the format is identical).- App-data folder renamed to
…\Marflow Software\TextTemplateManager; your existing templates, settings, and sync configuration are moved there automatically on first launch.
Fixes
- Editor callout panels and code blocks no longer trap the cursor. Press ↓ or → at the end of a panel or code block, or Enter on an empty last line, to step back out — matching Jira's behavior.
- The text-color and highlight buttons now show when they are active, including formatting you turn on before typing with nothing selected.
- The "none" shortcut-prefix separator is no longer clipped in the Sync dropdown.

What's new in this release
New
- Keyboard navigation in Quick Paste and the tree. The Quick Paste tree and shortcut lists are now fully keyboard-drivable: arrow keys move the selection, ← / → expand and collapse folders, Enter or Space pastes a template (or expands a folder), and Esc steps back through focus (tree → search → shortcut list → close). Holding Alt now switches cleanly to multi-key entry. In the main window, Enter or Space also expands the selected folder.
- "none" shortcut-prefix separator. In Settings ▸ Sync you can now join a sync folder's prefix directly to a shortcut with no separator (for example
ANDMSG), alongside-and.. - Browser connector (beta). A local, opt-in connector (Settings ▸ General ▸ Browser extensions) lets a companion browser extension list your templates and fetch rendered content over
127.0.0.1, secured by a pairing token. See the API documentation linked in settings.
Fixes
- Opening Quick Paste no longer collapses the main window's tree.
- The link dialog shows the existing text. Editing a link with the cursor inside it now fills the Text field (it was left blank, and could replace the link's display text with the URL).
Changed
- The in-app handbook is now called the Manual (Help ▸ Open Manual).

What's new in this release
Fixes
- Default paste mode now applies to new templates. Creating a template uses the mode set in Settings ▸ General ▸ Default paste mode again, instead of always starting on Auto.
- Opening Quick Paste no longer writes to synced files. The first time the Quick Paste window opened in a session, it rewrote each active sync file even when nothing was pasted — enough to set OneDrive syncing and, across several devices, spawn conflict copies. Opening the window now leaves synced files untouched.

v0.9.9 (beta)
Text Template Manager 0.9.9-beta
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

What's new in this release
- Quick Paste keyboard navigation. The single-key and multi-key lists now highlight a row you can move with ↑ / ↓ and paste with Enter. For multi-key, a partial entry is enough: the list highlights the top match as you type, and releasing Alt pastes it — or press Enter to paste the highlight even before typing. The highlight follows what you type, and deleting the whole entry cancels the paste.
Fixes
- Synced files no longer churn (OneDrive conflict copies). Opening the app read-only used to rewrite a shared sync file's root timestamp with each device's own value, so several devices sharing a file via OneDrive would fight over it and spawn
…-<device>.ttmdataconflict copies. A read-only open now leaves the file completely untouched; it is written only when its contents actually change.

What's new in this release
- Enterprise update policy. Administrators can restrict updates via a read-only registry value —
allowUpdate(DWORD) underSoftware\MarflowSoftware\TextTemplateManagerin HKLM or HKCU:0allows everything,1blocks beta only,2disables updates entirely. The affected switches are turned off and grayed out, with a note explaining the policy. See Updates in the handbook. - "Saved" indicator. The main window now briefly shows a Saved confirmation whenever your templates are written to disk.
- Live shortcut capture. Setting the global Quick Paste hotkey in Settings ▸ General now shows each key as you press it.
Fixes
- Per-template undo history. Undo in the editor no longer reaches back into a previously selected template — each template starts with a clean history, with its own content as the first entry.
- Search reveals its matches. Searching in the main window now expands every folder and subfolder that contains a match.
- Quick Paste search. The Quick Paste search box now filters to matching templates instead of listing everything.
- Search resets on close. Closing the main window clears the search box, so it reopens unfiltered.
- Autostart no longer forced on. Installing without the autostart option no longer switches Run at Windows login on by itself.
- Hotkey capture. Recording the global shortcut in settings no longer opens Quick Paste or drops the final key.

What's new in this release
- Opt-in beta updates. A new Allow beta updates switch in Settings ▸ General (off by default). With it on, pre-release (beta / preview) versions are offered too; with it off, only stable releases are.
- Sturdier update detection. The updater now handles pre-release and flexibly-formatted version tags — for example
v1.0,v1.0.11,v1.0.0.1,v0.9.6-beta, andv1.0.0-stable— not just the strictv1.0.0format.

What's new in this release
- Quick Paste polish. Right-click a template anywhere on its row to open the menu (not just on the text); Alt+Esc now cancels an in-progress multi-key shortcut instead of minimizing the window; the multi-key preview no longer marks a valid prefixed shortcut red; and the content preview keeps blank lines between paragraphs.
- Shortcut conflicts move to the top-right. The conflicts panel now sits in the top-right corner. When it shows only cross-area (sync ↔ local) notes it can be dismissed with its ×; genuine same-area conflicts stay until you resolve them — and conflicts within a sync folder now surface as you edit.
- Uppercase sync prefixes. A synchronized folder's shortcut prefix (Settings ▸ Sync) is now always uppercase.
- Illustrated handbook. Help ▸ Open Handbook now includes screenshots walking through the main window, the editor, Quick Paste, and setting up synchronization.

What's new in this release
- Callout panels in the editor. A new Panel toolbar button wraps text in a colored Info, Note, Success, Warning, or Error callout — the same styles Atlassian Jira uses.
- Panels paste everywhere. Panels adapt to each paste mode: native panels in Jira with HTML/Jira, colored boxes with Auto, HTML, and RTF for email and word processors, and a labeled quote with Markdown.
- Text color in Jira. The HTML/Jira mode now also preserves text colors — snapped to Jira's nearest palette color — so colored text pastes into Jira's comment editor as colored text.
- Paste-mode menus reordered to most-used first: Auto, HTML/Jira, HTML, RTF, Markdown, Plaintext.
- Sync folder names are read-only in the tree. A pinned sync folder's name is set only in Settings ▸ Sync and can no longer be changed (or accidentally edited) from the tree.
- Clear the selection easily. Click an empty area of the tree, or press Esc, to deselect — so new templates and folders are created at the root instead of inside the selected folder.
- Move to Root. Right-click any nested item and choose Move to Root to move it out to the top level — a reliable alternative to dragging.
- Drop rules. Dropping a template onto another template now places it as a sibling directly below it; templates never contain other items.
