Non-paste sending method?

[jrlavi]

Apologies in advance if this question is too elementary.

I have found lintalist in my search for a solution to enter templates into a program that has disabled copy/paste functionality. Unfortunately, in my preliminary testing, it seems that lintalist uses the paste function to input text expansion text. Is there a setting that instead has lintalist input information as if it was typing out the text one character at a time? Thanks!

Indeed lintalist pastes the clipboard and there is no direct method to do it - but you could try to make lintalist send the clipboard text.

You should be able to do this in http://lintalist.github.io/#Configuration-AfterPaste - lintalist will try to paste anyway, but as it doesn't work it will then try to send it directly thereafter.

Create a new file using notepad for example.
File name must be afterpaste.ahk
Path must be lintalist\include\afterpaste.ahk
With this content (just one line):

Send {text}%clipboard%

Restart lintalist.

If you want to be sure it only sends text in that program (because otherwise in other programs the text is sent twice (clipboard + send) you can add a line that checks if the program is active

IfWinActive ahk_exe name-of-the-program.exe ; change this to your program.exe of course
    Send {text}%clipboard%

That solves it! Thank you so much.
