Hey all.

I'm a long-time DisplayFusion fan and am trying out ClipboardFusion. I work in IT and we have a unique challenge where we frequently need to login to Windows machines with complex passwords and Windows doesn't allow you to paste into its login field. Until recently, we had a copy of a decade old in-house utility someone wrote in AutoIT at an old job of mine that got around this. What you would do is paste the password into the application, click into the remote window so that the Windows password field was in focus, hit the button in the application and then it would actually take control of the keyboard, ALT-Tab back to the window and type out each character of the password with a slight delay between each character so as to mimic actual typing. This thing worked brilliantly, but it's stopped working on newer versions of Windows and the author and code are long gone. I have spent ungodly amounts of time trying to find a replacement for it and none seems to exist.

But I figure this is definitely something a ClipboardFusion macro could do. It doesn't have to lock out the keyboard while typing like the other tool did, but is what I'm asking possible? If so, does anyone have any suggestions how to implement that for someone who knows nothing of C#? My company isn't big, but we have about 15 tech staff (funny enough, we're about 2 blocks from the BFS office in Ottawa) and if I could bring this function back, I'm pretty sure I could convince my boss to buy us a corporate license.

Cheers!

We have a script in our repository that you can download called "Paste by Typing" that should do that for you. Or if you want to create your own script, this line will paste with the send keys function:

Code

BFS.Input.SendKeys()


Small world!
