typee

Editor Abstraction Layer - One command, multiple editors.

Switch editors by changing a flag, not your muscle memory.

Why?

Today you use VS Code, Cursor, Windsurf, Antigravity... Tomorrow you switch to something new. With typee, you change nothing. It just works.

Features

  • Auto-detects editor paths using Everything (es.exe)
  • Zero configuration - no PATH editing, no manual paths
  • v3: JSON config - customize editors, priority, cache duration
  • v3: Caching - editor paths cached for 24h (configurable)
  • v3: Priority - set preferred editor order
  • v3: --editors - list all available editors
  • Fallback to Notepad if editor not found

Requirements

winget install voidtools.Everything
winget install voidtools.Everything.Cli

Installation

  1. Clone this repo (or just grab the files)
  2. Add the folder to your PATH
git clone https://github.com/Jeffrey0117/typee.git C:\dev\typee

Usage

typee test.txt            # type (print to CLI)
typee --m test.txt        # more
typee --n test.txt        # Notepad
typee --e test.txt        # Default editor (from config)

typee --vs test.txt       # VS Code
typee --cursor test.txt   # Cursor
typee --wind test.txt     # Windsurf
typee --anti test.txt     # Antigravity

typee --editors           # List available editors
typee --cache             # Show cache status
typee --clear             # Clear cache

Configuration

Edit config.json to customize:

{
  "editors": {
    "vs": { "exe": "Code.exe", "priority": 2 },
    "cursor": { "exe": "Cursor.exe", "priority": 1 },
    "wind": { "exe": "Windsurf.exe", "priority": 3 },
    "anti": { "exe": "Antigravity.exe", "priority": 4 }
  },
  "default": "cursor",
  "cache_hours": 24
}
  • priority: Lower = higher priority (shown first in --editors)
  • default: Which editor --e uses
  • cache_hours: How long to cache editor paths

Adding New Editors

Just add to config.json:

"zed": { "exe": "Zed.exe", "priority": 5 }

Then use: typee --zed myfile.txt

How It Works

  1. You run typee --vs myfile.txt
  2. Checks cache for Code.exe path
  3. If not cached, calls es.exe to find it
  4. Caches the result for 24 hours
  5. Launches the editor with your file
  6. If not found, falls back to Notepad
