This is one of the features I miss on Windows (https://github.com/Collective-Software/ClickPaste), I was wondering if there was an alternative to this for Linux?

Essentially instead of pasting all the text from your clipboard, it will type out the contents as though the letters were typed on the keyboard. One by one. This allowed me to “paste” into VMs and other places that I normally couldn’t.

The ol’ google gave me nothing but “How to paste into terminal” posts which is not what I want.

    The closest I know of would be xdotool which may or may not be useful depending on why you’re trying to do that. Apparently wtype is one alternative if you’re on Wayland.
