Type less. Paste more.

Daha az yaz. Daha çok yapıştır.

A lightweight, cross-browser extension for pasting ready-made templates into ServiceNow, Zendesk, Jira, Gmail, or any web form — with keyboard shortcuts, slash commands, and placeholder forms.

Features

• ⚡ Three ways to paste — keyboard shortcuts, popup menu, slash commands (/shortcut + space)
• 📝 Placeholders — use {{variable_name}} and a form pops up to fill them in
• 🌐 Cross-browser — Chrome 88+, Edge 88+, Firefox 140+, Brave, Opera, Vivaldi
• 🇬🇧🇹🇷 Bilingual — auto-detects English or Turkish from your browser
• 🔐 Private by design — no network calls, no analytics, no tracking
• 📤 Import / Export — share templates as JSON (single, selected, or batch)
• 🎨 Universal editor support — <textarea>, <input>, and rich editors (TinyMCE, CKEditor, Quill)
• ⌨️ IME-safe — won't interfere with Turkish, Japanese, Chinese, or Korean input methods
• 🔒 No innerHTML anywhere — all DOM built via native API for maximum security

Installation

Two packages are built from one source. Pick the one for your browser.

Chrome / Edge / Brave / Opera / Vivaldi

1. Download typeless-chrome.zip from Releases
2. Extract to a permanent location (e.g., Documents/typeless)
3. Open chrome://extensions (or edge://extensions)
4. Enable Developer mode
5. Click Load unpacked and select the extracted folder
6. Pin the extension: 🧩 → pin "TypeLess"

Firefox 140+

Option A — From AMO (once approved):

Install directly from addons.mozilla.org.

Option B — Temporary install (testing):

1. Download typeless-firefox.zip from Releases
2. Extract
3. Open about:debugging#/runtime/this-firefox
4. Click Load Temporary Add-on and select manifest.json

Temporary add-ons reload when Firefox restarts.

Usage

Paste a template

Method	How
Keyboard shortcut	Ctrl+Shift+1, 2, or 3 — pastes the first three templates
Popup menu	Click the TypeLess icon, or press Ctrl+Shift+T
Slash command	Type /yourcommand + space in any text field

Placeholders

Put {{variable_name}} anywhere in a template body:

Hi {{customer_name}},

Your ticket {{ticket_no}} has been resolved.

Best regards.

When pasting, a form pops up asking for customer_name and ticket_no.

Managing templates

Click the icon → ⚙ Edit Templates:

• ➕ Add, rename, or delete templates
• ↕️ Reorder (first three get keyboard shortcuts automatically)
• ☑️ Select multiple templates and export as one JSON file
• 📥 Import templates — merge or replace
• 🌍 Switch language (Auto / English / Türkçe)

Privacy

TypeLess is designed to be private by default:

• No network requests — the extension never calls any server
• No analytics, no telemetry, no tracking
• Local storage only — templates live in chrome.storage.local, never synced without your action
• No third-party dependencies — no bundled libraries, no CDNs, no remote code

Verify this yourself: every source file is plain JavaScript. Search for fetch(, XMLHttpRequest, or sendBeacon — you won't find any external URL anywhere in the codebase.

Permissions Explained

Permission	Why it's needed
storage	To save your templates locally
activeTab	To send the paste command to the page you clicked from
scripting	To inject the content script if it isn't present yet
<all_urls>	So templates can be pasted on any site you visit

Development

# Clone
git clone https://github.com/yfthcn/typeless.git
cd typeless

# Build packages for distribution
python3 build.py
# Creates dist/typeless-chrome.zip and dist/typeless-firefox.zip

# Load in Chrome/Edge directly (no build needed for dev):
# - Open chrome://extensions
# - Enable Developer mode
# - Load unpacked → select the project folder

# Load in Firefox directly:
# - Open about:debugging#/runtime/this-firefox
# - Load Temporary Add-on → select manifest.json

Project structure

typeless/
├── manifest.json            # MV3 manifest (Chrome variant; Firefox gets transformed by build.py)
├── build.py                 # Creates Chrome and Firefox packages from single source
├── common.js                # Shared: i18n, escape, storage, validation
├── background.js            # Service worker (Chrome) / background script (Firefox)
├── content.js               # Injected into pages — paste logic & slash detection
├── popup.html / popup.js    # Template picker popup
├── options.html / .js       # Settings page — CRUD, import/export
├── icons/                   # 16/48/128px extension icons
└── _locales/
    ├── en/messages.json     # English strings
    └── tr/messages.json     # Turkish strings

Why two packages?

Chrome MV3 requires background.service_worker. Firefox MV3 prefers background.scripts and doesn't fully support service_worker yet. A single manifest would trigger warnings in one browser or the other. build.py produces browser-specific manifests from one source, keeping the code identical.

Adding a new language

1. Create _locales/<code>/messages.json, copy from _locales/en/messages.json
2. Translate each "message" field
3. Add an option in options.html language switcher

PRs welcome. Please keep changes focused — one feature per PR. The codebase is intentionally small and framework-free; let's keep it that way.

TypeLess Nedir?

ServiceNow, Zendesk, Jira, Gmail veya herhangi bir web formuna hazır şablonları hızlıca yapıştırmanı sağlayan, hafif ve çapraz tarayıcı uyumlu bir tarayıcı uzantısı. Klavye kısayolları, slash komutları ve placeholder formları ile.

Kurulum

Chrome / Edge:

1. typeless-chrome.zip'i Releases sayfasından indir
2. Kalıcı bir klasöre çıkar
3. chrome://extensions (veya edge://extensions) adresini aç
4. Geliştirici modunu etkinleştir
5. Paketlenmemiş öğe yükle → klasörü seç

Firefox 140+:

• AMO onayından sonra addons.mozilla.org üzerinden doğrudan kurulabilir.
• Geçici kurulum için: about:debugging#/runtime/this-firefox → Geçici Eklenti Yükle → manifest.json'ı seç.

Kullanım

• Klavye: Ctrl+Shift+1/2/3 ilk üç şablonu yapıştırır. Ctrl+Shift+T menüyü açar.
• Menü: Simgeye tıkla, listeden seç.
• Slash komutu: Herhangi bir alanda /kısayol + boşluk yaz.
• Placeholder'lar: Şablon içinde {{değişken_adı}} yazarsan yapıştırırken form açılır.

Gizlilik

Hiçbir veri tarayıcı dışına çıkmaz. Dış ağ isteği yok, analitik yok, izleme yok.
