 # Pasta
- A small app for one way pasting text in desktop environments where copy and paste is disabled from client to server.
+
+| Version |
+| - |
+| 0.1 |
+
+[[TOC]]
+
+## Summary
+
+A small app for working with remote environments (such as Citrix) where copy and paste functionality has been disabled.
+
+Pasta uses modules like pyautogui and keyboard to read the text in your clipboard and will re-type the text wherever you place the mouse pointer (even inside of a virtual environment).
+
+Because this is not true copy and paste functionality, there may be bugs - particularly on non-QWERTY keyboards. Use at your own discretion.
+
+## OS Support

+| **Mac** | No |
+

+
+3. Run the executable "pasta.exe"
+4. Have your Notepad/Text app open on the target desktop

+
+5. Click the "Ready" button
+6. During the 3 second countdown, hover over your target window
+7. Marvel at how quickly you typed that document!

+
+# FAQ
+
+### Can this copy rich text format or pictures?
+
+No, this is using modules that are only capable of using keyboard functionality - text only.
+
+### Will it work on a MacBook?
+
+Not yet.
+
+### Does this connect to the internet?
+
+No. It only handles text that is already available on the client system that the user could already type by hand. There are no API calls or anything like that.
+
+### This is a hacker tool!
+
+Only if you consider logging into a Citrix desktop as an authorised user and painstakingly typing out lots of text or code manually - to be a hacker activity.
