Basic workflow
- Copy the text you want to insert.
- Choose Prepare Text from the menu bar to import and review the text. For quick entry without preview, choose Arm Clipboard or press Ctrl + Option + V. Line breaks and tabs require separate confirmation.
- Click Arm Text. Enable Return/Tab keys separately if your text needs them.
- Click the destination field.
- TypePaste sends the prepared text by simulating typing. The clipboard is not reread during the operation.
Permissions required
Click Allow Typing in the preparation window to request macOS permission to send keyboard input:
- Typing control (PostEvent), shown under Accessibility or Device Control and Data Access depending on macOS, to send keyboard events to the destination selected by you
TypePaste does not request Input Monitoring or monitor keyboard events. Mouse monitoring runs only during destination selection and typing.
After enabling TypePaste in System Settings, return to the preparation window to refresh the status. Click elsewhere or choose Cancel Typing in the menu bar to stop. Switching apps also stops typing. Clicking back does not resume a cancelled operation. Start a new operation with Arm Text. Destination selection expires after 30 seconds. For remote sessions, start with the default 20 ms typing interval.
Troubleshooting
Check typing access in the preparation window and confirm that it contains the text you intend to send. Arm Text again and click an editable field within 30 seconds. Some apps reject synthetic keyboard events. A finished operation means the events were sent, not that the destination accepted them.
Some destinations block ordinary paste but still allow typing. Others block synthetic keyboard input or use secure input. In those environments, TypePaste may not work.
No. The current version runs locally on the Mac and does not upload clipboard contents to remote servers.
