Send contents of clipboard as keystrokes in AutoHotkey

Question

I'm looking for a way to send the contents of the clípboard as key output. E.g. if the clipboard says "123456789" I want the keys 1-2-3-4-5-6-7-8-9 sent to the keyboard input.

I've tried:

SetWinDelay 100
SetKeyDelay 0

^f::
Send %clipboard%
return

To map the 'clipboard paste' to ctrl+f, but it is just literally pasting '%clipboard%'

Perfect for "pasting" those pesky long paths or product keys to VMs! – Gomibushi Apr 14 '15 at 13:11
@abcde123483 nice but new lines turn into double new line. is there any way to prevent this? – Mesut Akcan Mar 16 '21 at 12:01
