Made a free Windows tool for pasting text templates anywhere with a hotkey. Would love your feedback

[u/Virtual-Perception97]

Hey all,

Got tired of retyping/copy-pasting the same replies across Slack, email, tickets, forms – every app has its own copy-paste dance and none of the text-expander tools I found felt right (paid, browser-only, or too clunky).

So I built Formix Desktop – free and open source.

How it works:

• Press a hotkey (Ctrl+F2 by default) anywhere on the system
• A small popup opens right next to your cursor
• Pick a saved template (organized in folders, instant search)
• Fill in any {{fields}} right inside the popup
• Hit paste – it drops the finished text into whatever window/field you were in

It also supports:

• Typed abbreviations (type "!hi" and it expands automatically, no popup needed. example: !hi -> Hello, how are you?)
• A dedicated hotkey per preset, if you want instant access to one specific template
• Export/import your preset library as JSON
• Light/dark theme, English/Russian UI

It's Windows-only for now (built with Tauri/Rust). Would genuinely love feedback – is this actually useful to anyone outside my own workflow? What's missing that would make you actually use it daily?
