Sadly in my line of work multiple times I’ve had to either type a password on lights out management that copy-paste didn’t work, use VNC to log into a server, or similar…

A great way around this issue is using AutoHotKey script to type for us our clipboard.

Sample:

Code:

#NoEnv          ; Recommended for performance and compatibility with future AutoHotkey releases.
SendMode Input  ; Recommended for new scripts due to its superior speed and reliability.

^+v::Send {Raw}%Clipboard%

Since it’s quite pointless to bother with getting it all set up for ourselves…

Download the following exe.

Download “AHK Type Clipboard”

When it’s time to type your keyboard content, press CNTRL+SHIFT+V enjoy the contents being typed in.

    You will need to use {Text} instead of {Raw}, otherwise it adds an extra new line when you copy & paste multiple lines.

      Interesting, I’ll for sure give it a try and let update the code/.exe, thank you for the suggestion.

    For me on a W10 and working with mRemoteNG, seems that the type_clipboard is not taking more than aprox around 180 characters, thats usually in my case close to 1 line an enter and a couple of more letters.

    Is this also observed by you, or any way that it can be improved to keep more characters in memory ?
