Clipboard Typer

A customizable typing simulator that types out clipboard content with human-like delays.

Overview

Clipboard Typer is a Python application that simulates human typing by reading text from your clipboard and typing it out character by character with customizable delays. This tool is useful for:

• Bypassing paste restrictions on websites and applications
• Creating more natural typing demonstrations for tutorials
• Automating data entry into applications that don't accept direct pasting
• Testing input fields with realistic typing patterns

Changing Settings

Features

• Human-like Typing Simulation: Types text with random delays between keystrokes
• Customizable Speeds: Adjust minimum and maximum delays between characters
• Configurable Start Delay: Set how long to wait before typing begins
• Global Hotkeys: Assign custom keyboard shortcuts for starting/stopping typing
• Emergency Stop: Dedicated stop key to immediately halt typing
• Multiple Themes: Choose between light, dark, and hacker themes
• Persistent Settings: Your preferences are saved between sessions

Requirements

• Python 3.6+
• Dependencies:
  • keyboard
  • pyperclip
  • tkinter (usually comes with Python)

Installation

1. Clone the repository:

   git clone https://github.com/DoingFedTime/PyTyper.git
   

2. Navigate to the project directory:

   cd PyTyper
   

3. Install required dependencies:

   pip install keyboard pyperclip
   

4. Run the application:

   python PyTyper.py
   

Usage

1. Copy text to your clipboard that you want to type
2. Configure typing speed:
   • Set the minimum and maximum delay between keystrokes
   • Set the initial delay before typing starts
3. Set your hotkeys:
   • Default hotkey: ctrl+shift+t (toggles typing on/off)
   • Default emergency stop: esc
4. Save your settings by clicking the "Save Settings" button
5. Position your cursor where you want the text to be typed
6. Press your hotkey or click "Start Typing" to begin typing the clipboard content
7. Use the emergency stop key if you need to immediately stop typing

Security & Permissions

The keyboard library requires administrative/root privileges to register global hotkeys. On some systems, you may need to run the application with elevated permissions.

Customization

Themes

Clipboard Typer comes with three built-in themes:

• Light: Default clean interface
• Dark: Easier on the eyes in low-light environments
• Hacker: Matrix-inspired green on black theme

Settings File

Your settings are saved in clipboard_typer_settings.json in the same directory as the application. You can manually edit this file if needed.

Troubleshooting

Hotkeys Not Working

1. Ensure you've clicked "Save Settings" after changing hotkeys
2. Try using different key combinations if a particular hotkey doesn't work
3. Some applications may block global hotkeys
4. Run the application with administrator privileges
