Automate data entry (type text) in RunMacro

What it does

The Type Text command auto-types a piece of text into the focused field — as if you were pressing the keyboard. RunMacro types via Unicode, so it handles accented characters and avoids IME issues.

When to use it

  • Fill a username, password, or content into a form.
  • Enter data in bulk into an app or website.
  • Type messages, comments, or descriptions automatically.
  • Fill data from a variable or file (use variable syntax in the text).

Configuration steps

  1. Add a Keyboard › Type Text command.
  2. Enter the text to type in the content box.
  3. Choose the typing speed: fixed, or enable random for a human feel.
  4. (Optional) enable Press Enter after typing to submit/new line.
  5. Before running, make sure the cursor is in the right field (usually add a Mouse Click first).
  6. Save.

Every option explained

Content (text)

The text to type. You can insert variables (e.g. {username}) to type dynamic data.

Interval between keys

Wait time between each character. Smaller = faster, larger = slower.

Random speed + Min/Max

Enable so each key gets a random delay within min–max, mimicking a human typing rhythm.

Burst typing

Types in quick bursts with pauses, more human than a perfectly even rhythm.

Press Enter after typing

Automatically press Enter when done — to submit a form, send a message, or add a new line.

Real example

Example: fill a search box and search

  1. Add a Mouse Click on the search box to place the cursor.
  2. Add a Type Text command with the search term.
  3. Enable Press Enter after typing.
  4. Save and run — RunMacro types the term and presses Enter to search.

Tips & common mistakes

Always click the input field before typing, otherwise the text goes to the wrong place.
RunMacro types via Unicode, so you do not need to toggle any IME — accented text stays correct.
For sensitive passwords, consider Paste Text so the typing speed is not visible.
