Question

At my job for a company's website, I need to input some information about an order and for multiple orders. Unfortunately, for this site, for some reason, pasting information results in it being duplicated. It's a form that uses java and is hosted online. Maybe we can email the company and maybe it will be fixed, but in the meanwhile, I would like to come up with a workaround.

So, if I paste 567, what gets pasted is 567567. I must then delete the second 567. Or instead, I must type the numbers. The numbers are very long and both options are annoying.

Software Requirements:

I would like to find a simple free auto typer program. One which stays up on top of other windows, and has a text box / field where I can paste the numbers, and then click on that field whenever I want to paste what's in it and optionally / maybe or use a keyboard shortcut (not sure how convenient the keyboard shortcut would be considering I need to use the mouse to hop around different fields and tabs). I want to then easily and quickly be able to paste new numbers in the program, replacing the existing ones, and then click on the numbers whenever I want to paste them. Replacing the text should be as easy as highlighting the previous numbers or doing Ctrl + A, and then pasting the new numbers.

If it could support multiple fields, that might also be great, because there is another area where I always need to type an address, which is split across multiple fields (address, city, state, zip). I don't know if pasting works there, but considering it doesn't work anwywhere else, I doubt it will there.

Auto Typer by Murgee.com comes close, but it's too many clicks to edit an existing entry and the program doesn't stay visible on top of others.

Explanation / Answer

It's not exactly what you asked for, but it has the capability to achieve what you need: AutoHotkey. It is potentially even better than what you were looking for, because you said you have to "hop around different fields and tabs", and this can be automated with AutoHotkey.

If you have some programming ability, you could even build your own application with AutoHotkey which reads all the various pieces of data you want to copy and "types" them into all the fields you need to fill.
