Typist

About

Typist brings the text-editing shortcuts you already know from VS Code to every
text field on the web — comment boxes, chat inputs, email, issue trackers, and
rich editors.

SMART WRAPPING
Select a word and press a bracket or quote — Typist wraps the selection and
keeps it selected. Ten pairs built in ( [ { < " ' ` * _ ~ ), and you can add
your own Unicode or emoji pairs.

SMART TYPOGRAPHY
Type the shorthand, get the character: -> becomes →, -- becomes –, ... becomes
…, (c) becomes ©, and more. It's Markdown-aware, so it never rewrites text
inside inline `code` or fenced code blocks.

MULTI-CURSOR (⌘/Ctrl-D)
Select a word and press ⌘/Ctrl-D to grab the next occurrence, and again for the
one after. Type once and every cursor changes together — just like VS Code.

PRIVATE BY DESIGN
No accounts. No servers. No analytics. Nothing you type ever leaves your
browser. Typist asks for only two permissions: "storage" (to remember your
settings on your device) and "activeTab".

YOURS TO TUNE
Toggle any feature on or off, per site or globally, from the toolbar popup. Add
custom wrap pairs and typography rules, disable Typist on specific sites, and
export or import your settings from the options page.

Works in text inputs, textareas, and rich contenteditable editors. It skips
password and number fields and anything read-only.

Free. Local-first. No tracking.
