Ghost Coder is a powerful VS Code extension designed for technical presenters, educators, and YouTubers. Instead of a jarring "copy-paste" during a live demo, Ghost Coder replays your clipboard content as if you were typing it in real-time—complete with human-like variance and speed.
✨ Features
Natural Typing Simulation: Replays code character-by-character with slight speed variations for a realistic look.
Presentation Ready: Perfect for live demos where you want to avoid typos but still show the "process" of coding.
Smart Undo: The entire typed block is treated as a single action, so one Ctrl+Z cleans up the whole ghost-typed snippet.
Zero Configuration: Just copy code, run the command, and watch the magic happen.
🚀 How to Use
Copy any block of code to your system clipboard (Ctrl+C or Cmd+C).
Place your cursor in the VS Code editor where you want the code to appear.
Open the Command Palette (Ctrl+Shift+P or Cmd+Shift+P).
Type "Ghost Type: Replay Clipboard" and hit Enter.
Sit back and watch the code type itself! 👻

📝 Known Issues
Auto-Closing Pairs: If you have "Auto Closing Brackets" enabled in VS Code, the extension may occasionally create double brackets. We recommend disabling this for the smoothest "Ghost" experience during a demo.
