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 Apr 1, 2016TomTom always leaves the arrow pointing to the last-entered waypoint. AFAIK the "order" in which you enter waypoints is never preserved. Best you can do is a /cway command at the end to point at the closest waypoint to the current position. These are all TomTom limitations, nothing to do with Paste.

Posted Jan 21, 2016Is there a way to save commands that I want to keep for daily use?
I usually logon everyday to do some farming and kill rares. Therefor I use this addon combined with TomTom, so it would be nice if you could save command lines for easier access in the addon.

Posted Aug 1, 2015I use Paste to write long /e commands for RP, but very often I run into this issue: when my entries into Paste are >255 characters (and even times when my entries into the chat box are <255 characters), most of the time the text won't execute as multiple /e (or a single /e, for the <255) and will bleed into my last entered chat channel (/s, /p, etc.). What issue am I running into, and how to I fix this?

Posted Aug 1, 2015The game does not allow /e commands (or any commands) that exceed 255 characters. When you paste longer lines, Paste inserts line breaks at word boundaries to fit within the line length limit. It does not attempt to understand the text or commands you are entering, for example to break into multiple meaningful /e commands. Simplest workaround is to use regular say chat instead of /e.

Posted Jul 25, 2015Hey, I'm curious if you could make a misspelled extension for this addon. I'm really loving this addon for RP. It's just perfect, and simple to use. Now only wish too be able too catch my spelling like I can do with misspelled addon for "Chat window." It wont work with paste, I have no clue why.

Posted Dec 15, 2014Pasting to the macro editor frame doesn't require an addon, just control-V. This addon is for textual pasting of chat or commands.
If your addon window doesn't look like the screenshot you may have an install problem or conflicting addon. Bug Reports

Posted Oct 27, 2014Hi!
First I want to say thanks for a super-addon.
My problem is that I would like o put a massive text into a macro. I get a complete brainfreeze on how to do the actual transfer of the text-mass into the macro.
Is it at all possible to paste an oversized text into a macro?
/ Warm Regards

Posted Oct 25, 2014This addon is great, although I am missing the emote (/e) channel. I believe this would be a great addition seeing as many Roleplayers seem to use this addon.

Posted Oct 18, 2014with the recent patch this week, I'm having issues getting anything from Paste to work with TomTom. It could be TomTom though, b/c it's saying "Type /help for a listing of a few commands".

Posted Oct 19, 2014TomTom has not yet been updated for 6.0 and is currently very broken.
Paste is working fine.

Posted Sep 6, 2014Just installed this today, and it completely broke my chat windows. Example here: http://i.imgur.com/AxIgYm9.png
Upon logging in the standard chat window had been resized and re-positioned to the default UI settings, and my secondary chat window had been moved behind it and it's tab had vanished so I couldn't move it to fix it. Turning off Paste fixed this. Not really sure what would cause this, but thought you might want to know.

Posted Sep 6, 2014It's very unlikely this would be caused by Paste, since it never touches the actual chat windows. Paste does include a copy of Ace3, so it's possible some library conflict with your chat addon caused a weird interaction.
