⌨️ Electron App to copy text and paste like typist

⚠️ This app is Mac only and depends on Keyboard Maestro

How it works?

It will store clipboard to an array by breaking word by word.

For each spaces and next line found in your clipboard, it will be stored in a position of that array. We can call it steps.

This app will paste each position of the array and you can visualize and control theses steps.

The typist simulation is a Keyboard Maestro's responsability whereas this app will only store and manage the clipboard.

Install

npm install

Usage

Configure your Keyboard Maestro like this Keyboard Mastro Example

And navigate to project folder, with your prefered terminal, and start application.

npm start

Controlling the typist

This app is fully controlled with shortcuts.

Just copy some text and...

  • Command+Control+Shift+h: Register the clipboard, so you can use it with this app.
  • Command+Control+Shift+j: Typing ... (when it's done, and invoke again, it will play next step)
  • Command+Control+Shift+l: Go to next step.
  • Command+Control+Shift+k: Go to previous step.
  • Command+Control+Shift+;: Restart to first step.
