This script provides an email template system with two UI panels:

1.  **Hotkeys Panel**: Configure the trigger key (default F8) and typing speed.
2.  **Templates Panel**: Select which email template to insert.

When you press the trigger key, the selected template is typed into the active application character-by-character at your configured speed.

**To add more templates**, simply add entries to the `templates` table:

lua templates.custom = "Your template text here"

The script will automatically make them available in the UI dropdown.

**Tip**: For multi-line text, use `\n` for newlines. Clipboard paste (`Clipboard.Set()` + `HID.Press("LCtrl+V")`) is faster and more reliable for very long templates, but character-by-character typing works everywhere including web-based forms.
