ContextPaste v0.3.0

The clipboard manager that reads your screen and pastes the right thing automatically.

New: Context-Aware Auto-Paste

When you press Ctrl+Shift+V, ContextPaste now:

  1. Reads the screen — detects what the focused app/field is asking for (via Windows UI Automation)
  2. Matches context — uses keyword analysis + content type inference to find the best clipboard item
  3. Auto-pastes if confident — pastes immediately and shows a small toast notification
  4. Falls back to overlay — if confidence is below threshold, shows the normal Quick Paste overlay

How It Works

Terminal asks: "Enter your GitHub token:"
  → ContextPaste reads "GitHub token" from the focused element
  → Matches to your most recent Credential item
  → Auto-pastes it (confidence: 85%)
  → Shows toast: "Auto-pasted: ghp_••••wxyz (85%)"

Paste Rules

Create custom rules in Settings > Auto-Paste:

  • App pattern — regex match against app name (e.g., Terminal|cmd)
  • Window title pattern — regex match against window title
  • Context pattern — regex match against screen text (e.g., password|token|secret)
  • Action — paste most recent item of a type, or a specific pinned item

Configuration

Setting Default Description
Enable auto-paste Off Opt-in feature, must be enabled
Confidence threshold 75% Slider from 50% to 95%
Show toast On Notification after auto-paste

Safety

  • Credentials are NEVER auto-pasted — always shows overlay for sensitive items
  • Low confidence = overlay — no guessing, falls back to manual selection
  • Opt-in — disabled by default, enable in Settings > Auto-Paste
