Clipboard2Keyboard

Clipboard2Keyboard is a utility that types the content of your clipboard as if you were typing it manually. This is incredibly useful in environments where copy-pasting is restricted or not supported (like some remote consoles or legacy apps).

Features

• macOS Integration: Built as an Automator workflow that sits in your Services menu.
• Linux Support: Includes a shell script for quick pasting via terminal or keyboard shortcut.
• Customizable: The scripts can be easily edited to add delays or modify typing behavior.

How it Works

On macOS, it uses AppleScript to simulate keystrokes. On Linux, it leverages tools like xdotool to send clipboard content to the active window.

Installation & Usage

macOS

1. Open clip2key.workflow to install it.
2. It will appear under [App Name] > Services > General.
3. You can assign a custom keyboard shortcut in System Preferences.

Linux

Run the linux.sh script directly or bind it to a global hotkey.
