v0.2.0
TypeFlow v0.2.0
TypeFlow is a Linux desktop text expander for creating reusable snippets and inserting them with typed keywords, hotkeys, or a searchable quick-insert picker. It is built with Python and PyQt6, stores data locally as JSON, integrates with the system tray, and adapts its runtime behavior for X11 and Wayland sessions.
This release contains the complete implementation of TypeFlow v0.2.0.
Key Features
- Snippet Manager: Easily create and organize reusable snippets with custom labels, triggers, and live previews.
- X11 Integration: Supports typed keyword expansion and global hotkey triggers.
- Wayland Support: Clipboard fallback for the search/quick-insert picker.
- System Tray Integration: Easily search/quick insert, pause/resume, or configure the application from the tray.
- Smart Date/Time Placeholders: Use
{{date}},{{time}}, and{{datetime}}inside your snippets for dynamic text injection. - Config Migration: Automatically migrates configurations from the legacy
linux-text-expanderconfig path.
