Auto-paste not working

Sponsored Links

Auto-paste may not work as expected in some apps, even when it is enabled in Clibor.

First, check that auto-paste is enabled in Clibor’s preferences.

Clibor’s auto-paste works in a simple way.
After you select a clipboard history entry or a template on the main screen, Clibor hides itself and sends Ctrl+V.

This is the same as pressing Ctrl+V on your keyboard to paste.
Clibor does not perform any special operations on the destination app.

The main reasons pasting may fail are:

  • The destination app does not have focus.
  • After Clibor hides itself, the paste command is sent before focus returns to the destination app.
  • The destination app is running as administrator.

Auto-paste cannot work if the destination app is running as administrator and Clibor is not.

If the hotkey you use to open Clibor’s main screen includes Alt, try a different hotkey.
The Alt key can affect auto-paste in some apps.

Try again with the following option turned off:

Preferences > General > Paste only when a text cursor is detected

Try adjusting the auto-paste delay with the following setting:

Preferences > General > Wait time for auto-paste

The cause can be difficult to identify because this issue depends on your specific setup.
For example, even if you report that you cannot paste into Chrome, I usually cannot reproduce the problem on my system.

I have also received videos from users showing the problem, but have still been unable to reproduce it.
Possible causes include your system environment, settings in Clibor or the destination app, and interference from other apps.

During auto-paste, pasting usually works if the destination has focus.
Check that the destination has focus and try adjusting the auto-paste wait time.

I do not reply to inquiries about this issue.
Past reports have rarely led to identifying the cause or finding a solution.
