solved Paste/Insert text/snippets without using the clipboard in remote desktop (RDP)

[Soprano]

Hi,

 

I have to use an RDP session which has the clipboard disabled. Can I configure Alfred to insert/paste text without using the existing clipboard function?

 

Thanks!

Welcome @Soprano,

 

You can use Alfred to trigger an AppleScript to send keypresses, but will those be sent to the RDP session? It might depend on your session settings or it might not be doable at all. Try this Workflow. Edit the object in the middle to write the text you want to send and try it out.

This works perfectly, thanks so much!
