Worked like a charm. Is there any way to make this work with a text editor like vi?

Wow, that's very nice!

@adl1995 it does work - just be sure to be in insert mode.

I'm sure this isn't perfect, but I encountered an error while trying to use this to paste into vim. What happened is that vim would reverse the capitalization of each letter, so "hEllO" would become HeLLo". My update fixes that problem.

(function () {        
        var t = prompt("Enter text to be sent to console, (This wont send the enter keystroke)").split("");
        var o = [];
        
        for (let letter of t) {
          if (letter.match(/[a-z]/)) {
            letter = letter.toUpperCase();
          } else if (letter.match(/[A-Z]/)) {
            letter = letter.toLowerCase();
          }
          o.push(letter);
          console.log(letter);
        }
        
        function f() {
                
                var character = o.shift();
                var i=[];
                var code = character.charCodeAt();
                var needs_shift = "!@#$%^&*()_+{}:\"<>?~|".indexOf(character) !== -1
                var shift = XK_Shift_L; // To help with minification
                function key(keycode, down) {
                        i=i.concat(RFB.messages.keyEvent(keycode, down));
                }
                
                if (needs_shift) {
                        key(shift,1);
                }
                key(code,1);
                key(code,0);
                if (needs_shift) {
                        key(shift,0);

Its working.....Thanks for this help!!!!

is anyone having issues this warning in chrome while running the script?

A window.prompt() dialog generated by this page was suppressed because this page is not the active tab of the front window. Please make sure your dialogs are triggered by user interactions to avoid this situation https://www.chromestatus.com/feature/5637107137642496

@mreis1: I added another version that might work better for chrome's blocking of window.prompt

@mreis1: I had the same error and the solution is to open the console in a chrome tab instead of the pop up (you can copy the url and paste it in a new tab)

Great script!! It save my life!! I made some changes on the script to work on another host provide. The new version is here:
https://gist.github.com/byjg/a6378edb420a1c654c5f27bb494ca1c8

to facilitate a bit I created an extension follows the git and published extension

https://github.com/andrehrferreira/webextension-digitalocean-pasteconsole
https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/digital-ocean-paste-in-co/pigihfibffjpekhnjeofgbdkppghbofk

So Awesome. Thanks for this!

THANK YOU SOOOOOOO MUCH <3 I started typing out my ssh key...

Wow. <3 I love you so much right now.

On the latest version of Chrome (at the time of writing) I get the following error:
Package is invalid. Details: 'Could not load background page 'background.html'.'.

Thanks for sharing !

I cannot add chrome extension. It says that cannot add background.html.

Respect! thanks for sharing.

haha nice! 👍

thank you so much

hi

how about |

it changes ssh key letters to strange format.
for example = changed to +, date number to _@!*)&@$

Doesnt work anymore

kevin1, your right.

I updated the code to handle those characters

where i have to update this code

It isn't working!

Not working anymore.

Thank you for this, it works perfectly. I also ran into the same issue where the console kind of trips over itself and everything is capitalized. When I set the timeout to 100 instead of 10 (on line 27), I don't run into this issue, at least as frequently. It's a bit annoying to wait for the text to enter slowly, but I won't need to do it often so idc.

thanks all! definitely works for me, I also had to increase the timeout, as elmehalawi mentioned, I used Chrome

If characters are sent in the wrong order, watzon's script and increasing the timeout. This worked for me.
