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 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.
Please submit a ticket including your complete list of addons here: http://www.wowace.com/addons/paste/tickets/

Posted Apr 24, 2014Just make sure the output channel is set to "Default" and the press the "Paste" button to execute the /way commands.

Posted Feb 13, 2014Really really really loving this addon for RP usage. I was wondering, would there ever be a possibility to add a scaling option? The text itself is fine, perfect legibility, but the UI (i.e.: frames, buttons, etc.) are just huge compared to the rest of my UI and occupies a lot of screen real estate even on a 27" screen. Sadly the 'Move Anything' addon cannot detect what the name of the parent window is so I can't use that to scale it down.
Another thought (and I have no idea if its even possible due to potential game limitations) but hitting the return/enter key to go to the next line does exactly that. Would it be possible to keybind something, or build it in so, say, Shift+Return / Shift+Enter would be the equivalent of clicking the Paste button? Would feel more like the default behaviour when typing into the chat box.
Just some food for thought. Either way, great job on this addon :)

Posted Jan 26, 2014Wow. I used to type each line into TomTom and that took me forever! This saved me so much time. This is such a great addon. Thanks so much for making this.

Posted Jan 14, 2014Love the addon, but I need to be able to paste to a Raid and Instance channel, with all the pugs and the LFR it helps if everyone is on the same page with the strat. So please add a /r for raid and a /I for instance to the drop down menu. Thanks and I hope you can make this happen.
Been using /Y for yelling but that seems messy

Posted Jan 16, 2014Addon v1.2.1 adds instance chat output. Raid was already there but the dropdown was a little glitchy and sometimes didn't show it. Note the dropdown only shows channels currently available to you (must be in a raid/instance group, etc)

Posted Dec 28, 2013You need to have the paste window open with your cursor blinking in the edit box.

Posted Oct 30, 2013Hi,
Pasted in a macro and the comment lines got said out loud. Not a terrible deal, but could we get the option to ignore lines that start with the # chracter?
(Used to use super duper macro, but that just got broken apparently... so now I'm rtying paste ;-) )

Posted Nov 3, 2013I'd like to understand your usage case more.
Paste can be used to execute a list of slash commands, it does not "save" its contents or create a macro. As such, it's mostly for "one off" operations like importing a list of /way commands or running a long slash command program from wowhead. I don't see the utility of macro comments for either scenario. The paste function works "as if" you'd typed in each line yourself, and if you type in a line starting with a # it gets spoken.

Posted Oct 14, 2013I need a little help! I am new to macros and add-on. This paste things sounds really good. Downloaded it and was able to paste what I wanted. But it does not seem to work. Once I have pasted what I want, how do I make it work? I tried typing /way in the chat line, but it does not recognize the command. Any help would be appriciated. Thank you

Posted Oct 14, 2013Paste just provides the means to easily paste in commands. If you want to use TomTom /way commands, you also need to install the TomTom addon. Sounds like that's what you're missing.
