Instantly type in keyboard using JavaScript

Question

I'm currently developing a RPA application. I need to type a text in keyboard, but I need this process to be executed instantly (as if it were a copy and paste).

I've tried Nut.js and Robotjs but both of these have a delay between one key and another even if I configure the delay to 0ms or 1ms.

Someone know another automation library to make this process of typing immediate? Or should I try Python?

Can you not use those libraries to copy your test to the clipboard then execute a paste? — mousetail, Jan 19 '23 at 13:46
@mousetail Yes, I can try this, do you recommend any library? — Eliel, Jan 19 '23 at 13:54

You could use the pyperclip library to first copy text using the pyperclip.copy() function and then use PyAutoGui library to paste the text. The pyperclip doesn't have a built-in function to paste but using both of these we can make it work.

Example:

import pyperclip
import pyautogui

#copy text to clipboard
text = "Testing the copy and paste"
pyperclip.copy(text)

#paste text from clipboard
pyautogui.hotkey('ctrl', 'v')
