1st link does not bother to mention where "jtxtfield" variable came from and if I understand correctly it pastes text from clipboard to predefined field... I want to trigger OS paste function.
second link sets and gets clipboard, again, I am not interested in that, I want to trigger ctrl+V fx.
for context I am creating app where I have to certain shortcuts binded certain strings. I have all that, I can recognize keys and combinations of keys via JNativeHook library, I can set strings attached to the combinations as well, only thing left is to change System.out.Println(text) to some sort of Clipboard.getContents().out() function or something that takes whatever is in the clipboard and pastes it wherever I am focused at the moment, be it Discord, browser or notepad.
screenshot for... context I guess.
