COPTXT for Windows
Paste where Ctrl+V can't.
COPTXT is a lightweight Windows utility that lets you paste text into applications, remote consoles and other places where regular clipboard paste doesn't work. An optional Ctrl+Shift+V shortcut can start the paste workflow from anywhere once it is enabled in Settings.
Coming soon to Microsoft Store
Sometimes Ctrl+V simply doesn't work.
Remote consoles, virtual machines, legacy applications and restricted input fields don't always accept normal clipboard paste. COPTXT provides a simple alternative.
