Paste
Paste has been restarted and is active again!!
An update for TWW is out already!
Paste is a small utility that enables multi-line/unlimited-length pasting of text or commands into WoW
If you've ever tried to paste a paragraph of text or a list of slash commands into WoW you've probably noticed that newlines are stripped and anything over 255 characters is silently truncated. The Paste addon solves this problem.
Usage:
- Open the Paste window via minimap icon, keybind, LDB or /paste show
- Paste your clipboard text into the box with control-v / command-v
- Press the "Paste" button and the entire contents will be sent to your selected channel, one message per line, with long lines automatically split.
- The "Default" channel can be used to execute a list of slash commands (eg TomTom /way commands)
- Options are available via "/paste config"
Fully compatible with WoW 7.x and all chat addons.

Posted May 15, 2025Thanks for sharing this update! I've used the Paste addon in the past and it's a real time-saver, especially for long command lists or macros. Glad to see it's active again and updated for TWW. Tools like this really enhance the WoW experience. While I mostly play casually now, I also spend time working on real estate projects — feel free to check out what I do at Investors Clinic. Cheers!

If you join our Discord, we will collaborate with you to try to figure out what the issue is.

Posted Sep 17, 2024As the original developer has abandoned all his projects over 8 years ago, we have asked CurseForge (who were amazing help in this process) to update the AddOn from now on so that it could live on and people could keep using it. We are already looking to fix all the issues that have risen with it for the last 8 years and are expecting an update later this week.

Posted Aug 29, 2024I find it sad that this addon hasn't been updated in 8 years. Clearly it's been abandoned - and I'd very much love to see it brought up to date with the current expansion.
