# stupid-NoVNC-copy-paste 📋 V 1.5 > Because sometimes the dumbest solutions are the best! 🚀 Add copy-paste to NoVNC with a ridiculously simple Javascript script. Now with support for special characters, proper case handling, and more configurations. ## Why? 🤔 Because having to type everything manually in NoVNC is stupid. And yes, there are probably better ways to do this, but hey, this works! ## Quick Start ⚡ 1. Press `F12` to open the browser console 2. Copy the content of `index.js` 3. Paste it in the console 4. Done! Now use right-click to paste text in your NoVNC session ### Test Example 🧪 Try copying and pasting this text to test the functionality: ``` VNCPaste@2025#TestHash$Alew140.dev% ``` This example includes uppercase, lowercase, and special characters - all should work correctly now! ## What's New in this Version 🎉 - Finally! Support for symbols that need Shift (@, #, $, etc) - **Fixed case handling!** Now uppercase and lowercase letters work correctly thanks @SiegfriedSchmidt 🎯 - Customizable configuration (in case you want to make it even more stupid) - Better error handling (because things can fail) ## Configuration (that we don't need) ⚙️ ```javascript // Default configuration const vncPaste = new VNCPaste({ selector: '#noVNC_canvas', // Main canvas selector fallbackSelector: 'canvas', // Fallback selector if main fails delay: 50, // Typing speed (ms) enableLogging: true, // To see what the hell is happening rightClickEnabled: true // In case you prefer using vncPaste.sendString('text here') }); vncPaste.init(); // Or if you want to be more specific: const vncPasteCustom = new VNCPaste({ selector: '#mySpecialCanvas', delay: 100, // Slower for slow connections enableLogging: false, // Silent mode rightClickEnabled: false // Disable right-click }); vncPasteCustom.init(); ``` ## Known Issues 🐛 - Sometimes fails with some special characters (or maybe I already fixed it) - It's not the most elegant solution in the world (but you already knew that) - There are probably better ways to do this - Typing doesn't cost that much - Pasting a script from a stranger in your console doesn't sound like a good idea ## What's New in V1.5 🚀 - **Fixed Newline Handling**: `\n` now actually presses Enter! No more single-line disasters. - **Windows Support**: Fixed the double-enter issue with `\r\n`. We strip the `\r` because we don't need that negativity in our lives. - **Manual Testing Guide**: Added tips for the brave souls who type commands manually. ## Manual Testing (For the brave/bored) 🤠 If you are manually typing `sendString` in the console because you like typing: - `\n` = Presses **Enter** (New line) - `\\n` = Types `\n` literally (like for `echo -e`) ```javascript // Example: Press Enter after typing 'ls' (Executes the command) vncPaste.sendString('ls\n'); // Example: Type a literal \n (Good for echo commands) vncPaste.sendString('echo -e "\\nLine 1\\nLine 2 \\nLine 3"'); ``` So if your `echo` command executes in 3 separate lines, it's because you forgot to escape the backslash. That's on you. 🤷♂️ ## Bug Fixes in V1.3 🔧 - **Fixed case inversion bug**: Previously, uppercase letters were being typed as lowercase and vice versa. Now "VNCPaste" stays "VNCPaste"! ✨ ## Contributing 🤝 Want to make this project less stupid?
