Predictive text in LinkedIn: how Lightkey works in messages and posts
Yes, Lightkey works in LinkedIn. As you write a message, a post or a comment, 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. It works in the LinkedIn app for Windows, with nothing to set up.
Using LinkedIn in the browser? Add the Lightkey extension for Chrome or Edge; it works together with the desktop app.
What it helps you write in LinkedIn
Networking messages repeat more than most. Lightkey learns the ones you send, for example:
“Thanks for connecting!”
“Great to meet you at the conference.”
“Would you be open to a short call next week?”
“Congratulations on the new role!”
Spelling suggestions appear above a misspelled word, so a typo doesn't go out to a new contact.
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.
