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.

Edit core.lua:
Replace "InterfaceOptionsFrame:IsShown()" with "SettingsPanel:IsShown()"
Replace "InterfaceOptionsFrame:Hide()" with "SettingsPanel:Hide()"

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

Posted Oct 12, 2017Would be nice in whispering that you didn't have to type full name in, instead of it simply transferring it when clicking the person name in chat If they are on a different realm comes up player not found ?
Unless there is that option, and I'm doing something wrong ?

Posted Jul 6, 2017Thanks for the work!
Just look after something like this! :D
But there ist one bug: Sometimes, if you use "Delete" to clear and write something new, you are not anymore able to click in the text box around with the mouse to change something within the written text. The 'text'-cursor' is like frozen.

Posted Jul 20, 2016just discovered this today, it would be nice if paste could hold the window contents between sessions. perhaps with just a 'keep' tickbox to indicate you want to do so
this would be pretty handy for something you might paste regularly like a guild recruitment message but easier to edit than using the macro window
also might just be me but i wouldnt mind having something that held per-character notes like my todo list on that character

Posted Jun 21, 2016Two things:
1. Awesome addon - thank you for your work.
2. It took some elbowing to get it to work. Perhaps it was just because Blizzard did a game update today, but hoping this helps someone. I downloaded and installed this addon via Curse. It showed up in my Curse list. It showed up on my Windows machine in programs. It did not show up when I logged into the game. After about 15 minutes of "what did I do wrong", I simply shut the game down, rebooted my machine, and Voila! The paste icon now shows up on the minimap and pasting was a breeze.
One caveat.... In many posts for way points, folks are stripping out the zone and simply showing something like this: /way 29.3 35.2
This is a valid format.....BUT......
If you paste this format, and you are NOT in the zone you want these waypoints to be in, every waypoint shows up in the zone your character is currently IN. So.... either get to the zone, then paste your waypoints in.....OR...be where you are, and simply include the zone info as you paste. If you are in game, and type /way in the chat window, TomTom will spit the format options at you.
TomTom's ZONE format is like this:
/way <zone> <x> <y> <description>
Example: /way Ashran x-coords y-coords Fragment Chest
Example: /way Tanaan Jungle x y Fel Fragment
Hope this helps.
P.S. if you imported waypoints into the wrong zone, simply go to your TomTom options (hit escape, go to Interface, select Addons, go to TomTom, go to Waypoints profile, and reset your profile.) This removes them. But please know, if you previously entered custom waypoints, this will reset everything! You have been warned ;-)
