You haven't lived until you've manually typed your ed25519 public key into your Hyper-V VM authorized_keys because "Type clipboard text" still doesn't work out of the box...

By the way, if it's the same pubkey you use for github, you can curl https://github.com/username.keys

I think you have to have WSL for this to work, but this is how I do it on Linux with Xorg:

  sleep 3 ; xdotool type --delay 5 "$(xclip -selection c -o)"  ## Force-paste the secondary paste buffer (Ctrl+Shift+c)

Hey atleast it wasn't a RSA key. Though for this reason I just have my public key publicly accessible (For instance github exposes all of user's public keys) and just curl it in.

I wonder if that's a situation where you could use a smartphone to mimic a keyboard (over USB or USB-to-PS2 or whatever), using it to "paste" content that way.

There's gotta be some way to do it with autohotkey?
