Predictive text in ClickUp: how Lightkey works in tasks, docs and chat
Yes, Lightkey works in ClickUp on your Windows PC. As you write a task, a comment or a doc, Lightkey predicts your next words in grey right where you're typing. Press Tab to accept, or keep typing. It also suggests spelling corrections as you go.
How it works
Install the Lightkey desktop app and open the ClickUp desktop app. Predictions appear in task descriptions, comments, docs and chat, with nothing to set up in ClickUp.
Using ClickUp in the browser? Add the Lightkey extension for Chrome or Edge; it works together with the desktop app.
What it helps you write in ClickUp
Work management is full of repeated updates. Lightkey learns yours, for example:
“Moved to review, ready for your feedback.”
“Blocked until we get sign-off from legal.”
“Done, closing this task.”
“Can you take a look by Thursday?”
Spelling suggestions appear above a misspelled word, so your updates read cleanly.
Private by design
Lightkey's prediction engine runs on your own computer. What you type isn't sent to a cloud service to get a prediction, and Lightkey keeps working offline. Lightkey doesn't need access to your ClickUp workspace.
