Auto Typer for VS Code
🚀 Live Code Typer is a VS Code extension that types code character by character just like a human would.
Perfect for creating coding tutorials, YouTube shorts, TikTok demos, or conference talks — you can let the code “appear” naturally while you explain concepts.
✨ Features
⌨️ Auto typing simulation — feed a file, and it writes into the editor like a human.
🕒 Adjustable typing speed — realistic typing speed instead of instant paste.
📄 Line by line typing — types code line by line with natural pauses.
⏸️ Pause & Resume — control playback with shortcut keys (great for recording).
🎥 Perfect for creators — looks natural for tutorials, live coding demos, and shorts.
