Shell command

[MrSpuf]

Hey there, I have a shell with command:

input text myname

and as you know it types the text 'myname' in a field where I need it. The thing is that I need to set up manually 'myname' in the shell. Is there a way where I can make this command run the text from CLIPBOARD? I don't want to use the PASTE function:

input keyevent 279

I want the shell to typewrite the text from the CLIPBOARD. Is there any solution?

TLDR; typewrite text from CLIPBOARD using shell command

You should replace 'myname' by Magic text [clipboard]

You should replace 'myname' by Magic text [clipboard]

@Dm114 is right. However you need to remember that if you are using Android 10+ MacroDroid needs to be in foreground to be able to obtain a clipboard text.

Magic text is the text that comes automatically when you press the three dots in the text fields of MacroDroid, it is a blue button

Have a look to MacroDroid Wiki to understand how to use and take advantage of MacroDroid.

Yeah, I did that, my question is that when I add Clipboard the command it looks like this:

input text [clipboard] or input clipboard "[clipboard]"

Neither works. I've done also what @FrameXX said and when I am copying it on the clipboard, Macrodroid is foreground and still doesn't happen anything. I am 100% sure that the text is on the clipboard since if I use the command: input keyevent 279 the text is pasted, but as I've said, I want it to typewrite it not paste it.

What am I doing wrong?

Do you mean you want each character to be pasted one by one instead of the whole content of the clipboard?

Correct.

input text myname - does that, but I need to replace Clipboard text with 'myname'
