Features

• Simulates keyboard strokes to paste clipboard content.
• Easy to use and lightweight.
• Standalone executable that does not require installation.

Typical Usage Example

A common way to use KeyPaste is to position your cursor in the target application where you want to paste, and then press a programmable button on your keyboard or mouse that is configured to run the KeyPaste program. KeyPaste will then automatically type out the current contents of your clipboard at the cursor location, simulating real keyboard input.

More Usage

To use KeyPaste, simply run the application with an optional delay from the Start menu or use the designated keyboard shortcut to paste the clipboard content into your desired application.
