Quick Start

Typefu lives in the menu bar and works in the app you’re typing in.

1. Allow Accessibility access

Typefu needs it to insert text, read the selection and detect abbreviations. The Welcome window walks you through it. Check it later in Settings ▸ Permissions.

2. Make a snippet

  1. Click the menu bar icon and choose Settings (⌘,).
  2. Click New Snippet, name it Signature, and type the text.
  3. Set the abbreviation to ;sig.

3. Insert it

  • Type ;sig in any app.
  • Or press ⌃⌥Space, type sig, and press Return.

4. Add a field

Click Insert Token ▸ Text in the editor:

Hi {text name="Name"},

Next time, a small form asks for the name first. See Tokens and Fields.

5. Select some text

Select text with the mouse and the action menu shows up. Try Proofread, Translate or Check Grammar.
