I copy data to my clipboard and want to paste it into a textbox. I can press and release control but am really struggling to get the combination of cntrl+v
Hi @Anonymous ,
Did you try send keys action?
Try using send keys:
{Control}({V})
@Anonymous Instead of using copy/paste from the clipboard, why not store it in a variable in PAD and then enter the variable text into the appropriate field?
SendKey Ctrl VI think Send Keys is the best way if you want to paste something into a field.

Tried this but it inputs the following into the field:'{Cntrl+V}'. It doesn't actually paste from the clipboard.
Hi @Anonymous , Try this :
Issue is the formatting. Per the MS documentation here, to do Ctrl+V you need to enter the text as {Control}({V}))
great!
One reason I have to not store it in a variable is that I'm using formatted text from an Access field that I'm copying/pasting into a webform. Pasting it from PAD strips all formatting. Would love a workaround for that one!
Only ({Control}({V})) works for me.
