I use Hammerspoon for Mac, have a shortcut set up for Cmd+Shift+V to actually type the letters rather than use the paste function. Works every time someone pulls this stunt. > hs.hotkey.bind({"cmd", "shift"}, "V", function() hs.eventtap.keyStrokes(hs.pasteboard.getContents()) end)

I do the same with AutoHotkey for Windows. It's also come in handy in remote connection GUIs that default to the remote clipboard and legacy desktop applications with controls that don't support pasting.

I also do this with AHK on Windows, even using the same keystroke. Though I add a small 10-50ms delay between each keystroke, otherwise the input can get mangled sometimes.

Yessss this also solves for Google Sheet's overkill hijack

> have a shortcut set up for Cmd+Shift+V to actually type the letters Seems like this would be hard to "google"... can you provide a guide or a link to a guide on how to accomplish this?

  Maybe try googling the very easy to google for "Hammerspoon" and the guide would literally just be the comment you are replying to.

Thank you. I added this myself, but with option instead of shift (because cmd+shift+v already does "paste without formatting" iirc) like so: -- https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=39640745 hs.hotkey.bind({"cmd", "alt"}, "V", function() hs.eventtap.keyStrokes(hs.pasteboard.getContents()) end)

  Is there any way to do this using a Javascript bookmarklet? I'm on Linux (Wayland), and can't use Hammerspoon or Autokey / Autohotkey. On one banking website (https://yesonline.yesbank.co.in/ https://yesonline.yesbank.co.in/) that blocks pasting, even if I enable paste, pasted passwords don't work whereas typed passwords do.

Keyboard Maestro is also a fantastic app for this kind of stuff, and even adds a reasonable delay between keystrokes (something like 0.05 seconds) to prevent any weirdness.
