</h1><div class="doc"><p>Import this module into your xmonad.hs as usual:
</p><pre> import XMonad.Util.Paste
</pre><p>And use the functions. They all return <code><a href="/usr/share/doc/ghc/html/libraries/xmonad-0.11/XMonad-Core.html#t:X">X</a></code> (), and so are appropriate
for use as keybindings. Example:
</p><pre> , ((m, xK_d), pasteString "foo bar") ]
</pre><p>Don't expect too much of the functions; they probably don't work on complex
texts.

Remember that you must handle the case of capitalization appropriately.
That is, from the window's perspective:

</pre><p>You would want to do something like:
</p><pre> pasteChar shiftMask 'F'
