ClickPaste

Windows 10/11 notification area app in C# that can paste clipboard contents as keystrokes to whatever location you click.

Starting

  • You can install ClickPaste using the MSI installer or get the portable ZIP from the Releases page
  • Note that in order to paste to UAC-elevated processes, Microsoft requires the ClickPaste binary to be run from the system drive's "Program Files" folder. (The easiest way to achieve that is to use the MSI installer.)
  • Launch ClickPaste from a shortcut or by double-clicking ClickPaste.exe.

Usage

First of course, you need to have some text in your clipboard. Then:

  1. Click the target notification icon to begin:

  • You can change between key typing modes,

  • Trigger a confirmation when the clipboard contains more than a chosen number of characters,
  • Configure what "hot key" combination will be used (Clear the key textbox with delete or backspace if you wish to have no hotkey),
  • Configure whether the "hot key" will activate the target selector to pick a paste location or just start typing immediately.
