About GhostType

Unlock your clipboard with GhostType. GhostType is the ultimate productivity tool for developers, students, and professionals who work in restricted web environments. Whether you are dealing with a proctoring platform, a remote desktop web client, or a website that disables the right-click menu, GhostType ensures you can always move your text freely. Unlike simple "paste" scripts that type character-by-character (which is slow and often breaks formatting), GhostType uses advanced native text insertion. This treats your clipboard content as a single block of data, ensuring that complex code indentation, brackets, and whitespace are preserved exactly as you wrote them. 🚀 KEY FEATURES: Force Paste: Bypasses preventDefault() paste blockers on 99% of websites. Smart Formatting: Preserves tabs, spaces, and newlines. No more uneven code or broken syntax. Cyberpunk UI: A sleek, distraction-free dark interface designed for focus. Universal Shortcut: Works instantly with Alt+X (Windows/Linux) or Ctrl+Shift+X (Mac). Privacy Focused: 100% local execution. Your clipboard data never leaves your browser. 🛠 HOW TO USE: Copy your text or code normally (Ctrl+C). Click the GhostType extension icon. Click the "ARM CLIPBOARD" button (it will turn green). Click inside the target text field on the website. Press Alt + X to paste instantly. 🔒 PRIVACY POLICY: GhostType is open-source and respects your privacy. It does not track your browsing history or collect personal data. Clipboard access is used strictly to perform the paste action within your active tab. Developed by Aditya Tipirneni (TeenTechIndia).
