IDEA: a copy/paste by typing
« on: October 01, 2008, 07:37 PM »

There are some applications which doesn't have copy/paste mechanism enabled. What about making a small application which pastes a text by simulating typing on keyboard?

"send,%clipboard%" in Autohotkey should do the trick?

Try Skrommel's "PlainPaste"

I tried PlainPaste but it doesn't paste in that application. I will take a look on autohotkey. Thanks for suggestion

Autohotkey's command "send,%clipboard%" did the trick. Thank you for pointing me on the way. Now I'm discovering the power of ahk :)
Thanks again
