Paste by Typing: Binance Copy/Paste (Mac only)
If you are annoyed as much as I am by Binance inability to paste value into the order boxes via the clipboard, you're welcome (please do us all a favor and file a bug report!).
On a Mac you can simply use an AppleScript to type everything that is on the clipboard for you. The script is this:
```applescript
try
the clipboard as text
on error
set the clipboard to " "
end try
tell application "System Events"
keystroke (the clipboard as text)
end tell
```
## Setup:
1. Create a new *Quick Action* in Automator.
2. Input is "no input". Execute in "any application".
3. Add a Run Applescript action, and paste the script above into it.
4. Save the action, and remember its name.
5. Now open System Preferences → Keyboard → Shortcuts.
6. Under Services → General should be your new action. Double click the shortcut column next to it to assign a custom shortcut to this action.
## Making it Faster
It's a little slow, if you do it using macOS only. That's why I always always *always* recommend using [Keyboard Maestro](https://www.keyboardmaestro.com/main/). (Yes, I'm very biased. Check out my Keyboard Maestro [macros here](https://github.com/Zettt/km-macros), and my [Markdown macros here](https://github.com/Zettt/km-markdown-library).)
