Write text from clipboard #538

Hi There are some places where Paste or Ctrl+V doesn't work. Is it possible to add an option to write text from clipboard to such places?

Julow commented 5 months ago

Could you give an example of place where Ctrl+V doesn't work?

It struck me that OP has an app that does not support pasting from the clipboard and wants Unexpected to grab the clipboard text and type it in as keystrokes.

I've stumbled with some passwords fields in the past that has some extra code to it to block a paste event on purpose. Which blows my mind because that hinders the use of a password manager use. So their security measures are counter-productive. So I agree with the previous post. A way to read the clipboard and "type" letter by letter, as a forcefull "paste" would be nice.

If I recall correctly, Proxmox login page and Portainer login page are ones that don't take Paste. But there are many more out there.
