Description

Making Ctrl-V work for the game Freelancer(2003). Providing versions for

• Windows
• Linux (X11) (should work Ubuntu at least as it was compiled on it.)
  • If it will not work for other linuxes... you need to compile it from this specific Linux u have

Download

• Download from releases

How to use?

• Turn it on. (By mouse clicking executor, or from console)
• Copy some text into your clipboard (Ctrl+C)
• press Ctrl+V in the game.
• Release Ctrl-V as soon as possible. You have 1 second to release it. (If u will not release it, text will be written as you if u had pressed Ctrl)

Window Title Targeting:

• for convenience excluded its working in not Freelancer (or not Wine) windows.
• it seeks for title to contain "Freelancer" or "Wine".
• env var TITLE_CONTAINS can override behavior for targeting any other window

Limitations:

• You try to print *, it could print 8 instead potentially (works from Linux correctly)
• It looks to be able to handle Capitalizing letters on its own, but watch out for any not ordinary english symbols.
• Not printing at least brackets

Development.

• Build only from OS to which u need it. Cross compiling between OSes leads to weird bugs.
