What Lintalist is

Lintalist is a free Windows application for saving searchable snippets in bundles and pasting a chosen snippet into the active program. Snippets can contain HTML, Markdown, RTF, and images, or perform tasks such as inserting the current date or time, requesting input, showing a choice list, or running a script. Search includes regular, fuzzy, regular expression, and experimental Magic modes. You can trigger snippets with shortcuts or abbreviations, and bundles can load according to part of the active window title. Plugins and AutoHotkey scripts offer ways to extend it; bundles are text files users can maintain and exchange. Settings and bundles stay in the program folder, and Lintalist does not write settings to the Windows registry. The maker lists Windows 7, 8, 10, and 11 as supported; XP SP3 and Vista are untested. The installation folder must allow writing so bundles can be updated. Abbreviation expansion is not meant to replace AutoHotkey's native Hotstrings. Lintalist is free, with no paid plans listed.
