Human-Like Paste
Overview
Welcome to Human-Like Paste—a VS Code extension that revolutionizes the way you paste text. This extension types out your clipboard content with natural delays and variability, mimicking human keystrokes for a more dynamic and interactive experience. No extra setup required!
Features
Zero-Config Experience
- If the server is not activated, copy/paste functions normally.
Main Paste Simulation (Server Mode)
Start (Ctrl+Alt+Shift+S) – Activates the server.
- If a simulation is paused, you can either Resume from the last point or Restart from scratch.
Paste (Ctrl+V / Cmd+V) – Initiates the simulated typing effect.
- If a simulation is paused, regular paste occurs instead.
Stop (Ctrl+Alt+Shift+X) – Stops the simulation and clears its context.
Special One-Time Paste Commands
Special Copy (Ctrl+Alt+Shift+Q) – Saves the clipboard content into a special instance.
Special Paste (Ctrl+Alt+Shift+W) – Pastes using the special instance (or the clipboard if none is set), regardless of server status.
Runs independently of the main simulation and can be paused, resumed, or stopped separately.
If paused, prompts to Resume or Restart the special paste.
Additional Controls
Resume (Ctrl+Alt+Shift+.) – Resumes a paused simulation, prioritizing the special simulation if active.
Pause (Ctrl+Alt+Shift+P) – Pauses an ongoing simulation, prioritizing the special simulation if active.
Toggle Notifications (Ctrl+Alt+Shift+Z) – Enables or disables on-screen notifications.
Adjust Typing Speed:
Increase: Ctrl+Alt+Shift+Up
Decrease: Ctrl+Alt+Shift+Down
Alternatively, modify the Speed Factor in settings (Range: 0.1 – 5.0).
