Victory Over Disabled Pasting In Text Fields!

Are you tired of being FORCED to type when you want to paste? That’s right, I’m talking about those dreaded text input fields that won’t let you paste what you have in your clipboard.

It’s often something that you need to paste because it needs to be 100% accurate but it’s a long string of numbers like your bank’s routing number and your bank account number, and manual typing will INCREASE the likelihood of getting it wrong. You hit ctrl+v and nothing happens. Ugh.

So how do you deal with it? You could “inspect” the field in your browser and remove the disabled setting but that’s a hassle to have to do every time.

Here’s a better idea: we can just set up an AutoHotKey shortcut which will “type” your clipboard instead of pasting it.

;----====----====----====----====----====----====----====----====
;	Type clipboard (instead of pasting it)
;	Ctrl + Alt + v
;----====----====----====----====----====----====----====----====
^!v::
Send, %Clipboard%
return

Oh yeah man! Now, when ctrl+v fails, just press ctrl+alt+v instead! 💣💥
