I'm currently developing a RPA application. I need to type a text in keyboard, but I need this process to be executed instantly (as if it were a copy and paste).
I've tried Nut.js and Robotjs but both of these have a delay between one key and another even if I configure the delay to 0ms or 1ms.
Someone know another automation library to make this process of typing immediate? Or should I try Python?
You could use the pyperclip library to first copy text using the pyperclip.copy() function and then use PyAutoGui library to paste the text. The pyperclip doesn't have a built-in function to paste but using both of these we can make it work.
Example:
import pyperclip
import pyautogui
#copy text to clipboard
text = "Testing the copy and paste"
pyperclip.copy(text)
#paste text from clipboard
pyautogui.hotkey('ctrl', 'v')

I am trying to build a collaborative code editor using node.js. I am able to make contents inside a textarea collaborative (multiple people can edit it simultaneously).
How to turn an existing textarea into a code editor using CodeMirror without replacing the textarea? (if I directly try to make the text area into editor using code mirror it will either replace it or create an editor below it without replacing it)
How do I make the existing text area into code editor?
Actually, this should be somewhat simple. If one builds a synchronous editor, it should be event-based, isn't it in your case?
So you should be able to do 2 things: detect an edit (and send it to others) and programmatically change the content of the edit area once you recieve a message ("another guy has edited"). And that's not difficult to do:
to detect editing, use the change/changes events
to set changes, use content manipulation methods like setValue or replaceRange
I'm trying to copy text to the OS clipboard in my dart web app with the push of a button, and I'm not finding a clean way of doing so.
My current solution is to create a textArea element, add the text I'm intending to copy to the element, calling document.execCommand("copy") on said element, then deleting the textArea element. This works in the browsers I am intending to support; however, I also need to set the MIME type for this copied text, which does not appear to be possible with my current implementation.
So, my question for you all is: using my current solution, can I also set the MIME type for the text being copied? OR is there a better approach I could take using a different dart api?
Javascript (even dart converted to javascript) cannot get to the OS clipboard. Only Flash seems to have that ability.
In my web application, I need a shortcut ctrl+x to hate the same behavior as ctrl+c when some text in paragraph is selected (selection is not in textarea or text input). I need solution without use of Flash.
First of all you have to prevent the default action on the cut-event. You can do this the following code:
$(document).ready(function(){
$('#input').live("cut",function(e) {
e.preventDefault();
});
});
Most browsers prevent control of the clipboard. Although I know the following jQuery-plugin exists that gives you a bit of control of it: zeroclipboard
Note: You must use the Flash add-in you do not want to use to automatically copy text to the client's clipboard. A website automatically modifying the client's clipboard without the aid of active-x components is a security concern.
I am using FCK Editor and when I try to paste some code from word in the editor, I get some pop up messages as follows:-
1)"Because of your browser security settings,the editor is not able to access your clipboard data directly. You are required to paste it again in this window.
Please paste inside the following box using the keyboard (Ctrl+V) and hit OK."
2) "The text you want to paste seems to be copied from Word. Do you want to clean it before pasting?"
These two messages are displayed on two different machines.
I don't want both these popups. I want to allow user to paste text from word without these popups
Please provide me a solution to resolve this issue, so that I can paste text from word files also.
Thanks in advance.
These pop-ups are there for a reason. Getting content from the clipboard is rightly generally impossible in JavaScript so browser-based rich text editors have to work round this as best they can. I know that CKEditor (FCKeditor's replacement) uses a trick that redirects a user paste to an offscreen element, which gives the editor access to pasted content before it's inserted into the editor; I think this trick may not be implemented in FCKeditor, so you may want to consider trying CKEditor.

I have a application using the CK editor, where users typically paste content from word.
When the paste from word function is used, then the content is cleaned properly. The problem is with users not using paste from word, then the HTML gets into a state that our application can't clean.
Has anyone found out a way of either forcing using paste from word for word content or automatically apply the logic used when paste from word, even if paste is directly into editor?
I would not like to completely turn off paste into the editor directly, rather I'd like to detect a word paste and then clean the data (as paste from word), or disallowing a paste from word but allowing normal text paste.
I'm using version 3.0.1 CK editor
Figured out that this was included in version 3.1 of CK Editor, then all paste in to normal edit window is passed through the word clean up function.
