Download the repo to your computer. Unzip the archive You have 2 options to run Terminal: Use claude if you don't know how to do something. Download python if you don't have it. I preffer homebrew to download it Add python to device paths if not added. Add pip to device paths if not added. Use this command: pip install pynput Write: python3 Then drag and drop the file to terminal. it should look something like this: python3 /Users/username/desktop/fast_typer_hotkey.py

IDE: Use claude if you don't know how to do something. Download python if you don't have it. In IDE's you can use extensions to set up python. Open the folder: codeHS-copy-paste-bot-main in the IDE and run it

Troubleshooting

If the hotkey doesn't work:

• Restart the Python script after granting permissions
• Make sure the correct application (Terminal/Python/IDE) is added to Accessibility
• Check that the checkbox is enabled

Multiple Python installations:

• If using Homebrew Python: Look for /usr/local/bin/python3 or /opt/homebrew/bin/python3
• If using system Python: Look for /usr/bin/python3
• Add the specific Python executable you're using

Still not working:

• Restart your Mac after granting permissions
• Remove and re-add the application in Accessibility settings

The script will automatically check permissions and guide you through this process when you run it.
