Hello and thanks for such a useful tool. Any interest in stripping out some of the options from the interface for a programming fee? There are few which I never use and they are a distraction of sorts. Can't tell you how many times I have selected 'mimic typing' in error. Thanks!

Hi Dave, I have always expected and got request for adding more option and never to remove some. Anyway I may fulfill your wish. Please contact me in email with your offer.

PasteTextLike has stopped working properly since the new Windows 10 Clipboard update that just arrived which stores several recent clipboard entries, which is convenient in its own right, but inconvenient that it breaks PasteTextLike. URLs get destroyed and it causes a virtual stuck Shift key as well. I always used the Mimic Typing option to copy a URL and paste it into sites that don't like things being pasted to them, but now I'm forced to drag'n'drop.

Hi Ron, I see that W10 Clipboard uses the same activation hotkey Win+V, so you can change the hotkey of Paste Text Like in 'Settings' and check. Please revert in case of any problem.

Would love an option to set what speed the mimic typing. In my case I don't need a micro pause between each character, just spew it all out.. I guess some people might want the opposite, to have longer pause between each character.

Hi Steffe, thanks for your suggestion. I may implement the same in future, can not give ETA, sorry

Hello again, and thanks again for PTL.

A commonly needed text processing task which a Menu Hotkey would be useful for is removing newlines. That is, in a block of several lines of text, convert to a single line of text.

Hi Jim, I have noted this too in my to-do list. Sorry I could not take your points yet, as too much new project work in hand.

Thank you for PasteTextLike. I use it very often. My feature request: More options for "Menu Hotkeys", preferably with user-customisable format. Otherwise, more options, particularly date as YYYY-MM-DD HH-MM, or a menu shortcut option for just time time alone, for independent use in filenames and elsewhere. Btw, your other apps are handy also!

Thanks Jim for feedback. I have noted your feature request.

Fantastic little tool. Thank you.

It would be great to have an option to remove all lines. It could be equivalent to make text file name w/ a blank instead on the "_"

Hi Nicolas, Thanks for the feedback. I have noted your point as feature request.

I have noticed that when you paste by proper case it will make any character directly after a douple quote (") lower case. This happens even if the character was already uppercase. Example:

"Startup"folder you

is changed to

"startup"folder You

I am using version 1.5.0 on a Windows 7 Profesional PC.

The program seems great except for that.

Thank You

Thanks Kelly for the feedback. I will fix it in the next release, by this month end.

this looks like a useful tool! for Proper Case, tho, i'd like it to use an underline as a delimiter since many of us avoid spaces in file names at all times, so that

club_membership_roster_2012.xls would become

Club_Membership_Roster_2012.xls.

maybe even dashes (Club-Membership-Roster-2012.xls) and dots (Club.Membership.Roster.2012.Xls) too, even tho the latter would capitalize the extension.

i just left you a comment on Stick-A-Note on donationcoder too!

Hi DyNama, thanks for your feedback. I have noted your point as feature request. New option 'Delimited characters for Proper Case'. I am sorry that I can not promise when I will fulfill it, due to my project work pressure. But I am looking for that small gap and will surely try to make the goal :)

Thanks for your comment on SAN on DC. I replied it.

Thank you for creating Paste Text Like. I need something that would emulate typing for a video I am creating. This works perfect.

Hi Marcus, I am happy to know you found PTL useful.

17 Feb 2012, Markus from Germany

Hello,

just play a bit with your Paste Text tool and found some helpfull features. Regrettably I miss two things.

1. a sound feedback during paste like in the tool "PureText" would be nice

2. the option to check for startup Paste Text automatically at boot

I set the .exe into my startup manager but every boot my text editor opens also the .ini file of Paste Text... what could be the problem on this?

When I delete the .ini file from the startup and I start Paste text, a new .ini file will create and opens next boot :-(

Best regards from germany,

Markus

Hi Markus, thank you for your good wishes.

Instead of copying the .exe in the startup folder, put the .lnk (link) of the same. This way the ini file will not be created in the startup folder. You can refer to https://sites.google.com/site/aghappy/Home/shortcutinstartup for step by step visual guide, for putting the link of an exe file in the startup folder.

I have noted your point for sound option as requested feature.

Have downloaded Paste Text Like - unzipped file - attempted to install. It will not install, nor can I delete the file. Error message: "This file is open", when file has already been closed to enable deleting. Also get a "single instance" error message.

Windows 7 Professional 32 bit system. Any ideas?

Hi Lewis, PTL is a portable app, i.e. it is ready to run. It goes into tray bar area after being executed. Press Win+T keys (default) to show the PTL popup menu. Right click on PTL icon in the tray bar area to open the Settings and other menu options.

To close the app, select Exit from the tray menu options.
