Auto-paste text into a field in RunMacro

What it does

The Paste Text command drops a predefined text into the focused field instantly (paste instead of typing key by key). It is faster than Type Text and great for long values.

When to use it

  • Fill long values (address, description, code) into a form fast.
  • Enter sensitive data without revealing a typing speed.
  • Replace old content: enable Select all (Ctrl+A) before pasting.

Configuration steps

  1. Click the input field to place the cursor.
  2. Add a Keyboard › Paste Text command and enter the content.
  3. (Optional) enable Select all before paste, Type instead of paste, or Press Enter after.
  4. Save.

Every option explained

Content (text)

The text to paste. Supports variables for dynamic data.

Select all before paste (Ctrl+A)

Presses Ctrl+A to select existing content, so the paste replaces everything.

Type instead of paste

Instead of an instant paste, type character by character (like Type Text) — for fields that reject paste.

Press Enter after paste

Presses Enter when done to submit or add a new line.

Real example

Example: replace a note field

  1. Click the note field.
  2. Paste Text, enable Select all before paste, enter the new content.
  3. Save and run — the old content is replaced.

Tips & common mistakes

If a field blocks paste (some apps do), enable Type instead of paste.
In Browser Mode, it uses Chrome/CDP paste to fill the focused field.
