Text Fill

Devlog 2

(Made in Python)

 
So it’s been a week since my last devlog since I was focusing on my main project, but I have made some good progress.
 
For those who don’t know my project, it’s called Text Fill, and it is a tool that I am making in Python, where you can define shortcuts and phrases, so when you type in the shortcut, it automatically replaces it with the phrase.
For example, if you have set a shortcut to /num, and the phrase to 123456789, when you type in /num anywhere with the program running in the background, it will automatically replace it with 123456789.
 
This is useful if you have to type a specific phrase all the time like your email, so you can set a shortcut to /e or /email or anything else you want, to make it fill in the phrase.
 

What I’ve added

So since the last devlog, this is what I have added:

• UI for everything using Tkinter.
• Settings menu
   
  Now though this isn’t much, it took me a long time as I had to learn Python in the process. The UI is still quite basic and uses default colors, and I might make it look better later.
   
  The settings menu contains the following options:
• Backspace Delay
• Type Delay
• Delete Speed
• Type Speed

More will be added in the future
 
I decided not to make a website, as I felt like an app felt better. A demo will probably be coming in a week or two, and I would appreciate any suggestions or feedback.
Below, there is a short video showing me using my tool.
 
(It works everywhere, not only in a code editor, I just did it in the vscode since it was open)
