Import Someone's Scripts

• https://github.com/dwiel/talon_community (most popular)
  • Nota bene: Community is a not super curated pile of features. It's great if you want all the features, but you should probably build your own by scavenging piece by piece. Otherwise, you'll end up with conflicts and not knowing what everything does.
• https://github.com/talonvoice/examples (useful reference for creating your own scripts)
  • Minimal useful library is probably just basic_keys, std.py and speech_toggle.py from this repo.
• https://github.com/2shea/talon_configs (the original whale quencher)
  • alphabet
  • repeats w/ ordinals
• https://github.com/anonfunc/talon-user (intellij plugin author)
