If you wish to paste lorem-ipsum somewhere, but don't want to go through some website or wait for any plugin to load, just open instantLipsum and hit the keyboard shortcut: Ctrl+Shift+L.
This is a very simple implementation of AutoHotKeys, an automation scripting language for Windows. This is how it works, Ctrl+Shift+L →
- Save the existing clipboard content.
- Replace the clipboard with lorem-ipsum text (currently it's static, not randomly generated).
- Paste.
- Restore the clipboard content.
There are many customization that can be done, although some of which might not be possible with the limited scope of AutoHotKeys, & would require making a .NET app:
- randomly generated lorem-ipsum
- customizable lorem-ipsum: short, medium, long (choosing with different amount of hold on
L?) - allowing to customize shortcut
- feedback when pasted
- improving the first time ux: adding a demo-like showcase
