Paste

Table of Contents

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.

Featured on Hearthcast Podcast #177!!

Edit core.lua:

Replace "InterfaceOptionsFrame:IsShown()" with "SettingsPanel:IsShown()"

Replace "InterfaceOptionsFrame:Hide()" with "SettingsPanel:Hide()"

Despite the fact this addon appears to have been abandoned, it actually still works perfectly fine in 10.0. The Copypasta addon does not have the same functionality. Copypaste allows you to copy stuff out of the game. Paste allows you to copy stuff IN.

It actually has some problems. Namely, the options window is non-functional and can cause the game to freeze.

In reply to Forge_User_22231390:

I never used this addon before today , but I just updated the Ace3 libraries that were included in the addon and it seems to be working just fine.

Get them from:

https://www.wowace.com/projects/ace3/files

then just copy and paste over only the ones that are in the Paste addon.
