Install once, activate your key, and every run after that is the same rhythm: capture your items, arm the queue, then Ctrl+V until it's empty. Here's the whole thing.
1 · Install
PasteQueue runs in any Chromium browser: Chrome, Edge, Brave or Arc.
A
From the order email
When your order lands you'll get a download link and your licence key. Unzip the folder somewhere permanent (don't delete it afterwards, the browser loads from it). The free tier is the same download, used without a key.
B
Load it into your browser
Open chrome://extensions, switch on Developer mode (top-right), click Load unpacked, and choose the PasteQueue folder. Then pin the icon so the queue is one click away.
address barChrome / Edge / Brave
chrome://extensions → Developer mode: ON
→ Load unpacked → select the "pastequeue" folder
→ pin the queue icon to your toolbar
Edge: the address is edge://extensions. Brave:brave://extensions. Everything else is identical.
2 · Activate your licence
One key, up to three browsers. Seats are counted server-side, so a leaked key can't spread.
Click the PasteQueue icon, open Settings → Licence, and paste the key from your order email.
The extension checks the key with pastequeue.com and claims one of your three seats. That browser is now Pro.
Repeat on up to two more browsers. Switching machines? Free the old seat yourself on the manage page, no email needed.
Activation is the only time PasteQueue talks to a server. Your queues, and everything you copy, never leave your machine.
3 · Your first run
Try it on any two tabs: gather from one, fill the other.
1
Capture a few things
Select something on any page and press Ctrl+Shift+C (or right-click → Add to PasteQueue). Do it three times, in the order you'll need them; the toolbar badge counts up. Prefer plain Ctrl+C? Toggle Capture every copy in the popup first and every ordinary copy joins the queue too.
2
Peek at the queue
Click the PasteQueue icon. Each item shows its position and a preview, with an HTML badge when formatting was captured. Drag to reorder or hit ✕ to drop one.
3
Arm it
Click Arm in the popup. The badge switches to 1/3 — the queue is now wired to your paste key. (Until you arm, Ctrl+V is just your normal clipboard.)
4
Paste them out
Click into the first field of your form and press Ctrl+V. The front item pastes and the queue advances. Keep going: next field, Ctrl+V, next field, Ctrl+V. After the last item the queue disarms itself and Ctrl+V goes back to normal.
Mac users: everywhere this page says Ctrl, read Cmd.
Building a queue
The queue is just your copies, in order. A few habits make runs smoother.
Copy in paste order. Walk the source page top to bottom in the same order as the destination form, and the run becomes pure Ctrl+V.
Plain Ctrl+C only queues while "Capture every copy" is on. Ctrl+Shift+C and right-click always work. Toggle capture off from the popup when you want ordinary one-slot clipboard behaviour back.
Fix mistakes in the popup. Copied something twice or out of order? Drag items around or delete them before you start pasting.
Free tier holds 3 items; a fourth copy asks you to clear one or go Pro. Pro queues are unlimited.
Pasting out
Once the queue is armed, pasting on a normal web page is invisible plumbing: Ctrl+V pastes the front item and the queue steps forward.
Rich field
Editors, CMS bodies, webmail composers.
The HTML flavour pastes, so a copied table lands as a table and bold text stays bold.
Plain field
Inputs, search boxes, code editors.
The plain-text flavour pastes: clean text with no markup baggage.
Fallback
Canvas editors and native apps.
Interception can't reach these, so PasteQueue keeps the system clipboard in sequence instead. Google Docs advances on its own; in native apps you step forward with the global Ctrl/Cmd+Shift+9 after each paste.
The popup always shows which item is up next, so you can glance mid-run and know exactly where you are.
The advance hotkeys
Sometimes you want to drive the queue by hand: skip an item, step forward, or run the whole queue outside the browser.
⌨
Alt+Shift+V · paste-next (inside Chrome)
Pastes the next queued item straight into the focused field and advances — no reliance on interception, so it works even on pages that fight the paste event.
⌨
Ctrl/Cmd+Shift+9 · rotate-next (global, any app)
Loads the next queued item onto the system clipboard without pasting anything — and it works while another app has the focus. Paste, press it, paste again. Each press confirms with a system notification ("Item 2 of 3 is on the clipboard"). Press it without pasting to skip an item you don't need.
a native-app runglobal rotate
1. Copy your items in the browser (queue fills), then Arm
2. Switch to the native app (e.g. a desktop invoice tool)
3. Ctrl+V → pastes item 1 (loaded when you armed)
4. Ctrl+Shift+9 → item 2 rotates onto the clipboard
5. Ctrl+V → pastes item 2
6. Ctrl+Shift+9 → item 3 rotates in ...and so on
Rebind either at chrome://extensions/shortcuts if it clashes with something you already use — and keep rotate-next's scope set to Global so it fires outside Chrome.
Saved queues Pro
For runs you repeat, gather once and keep the queue.
Save: in the popup, choose Save queue and give it a name ("New supplier onboarding", "Weekly menu update").
Load: pick it from the saved list any time; the queue refills in order, ready to paste out from the top.
Edit: a loaded queue is a normal queue. Reorder, replace an item by copying a fresh one into its slot, save again.
Saved queues live in your browser's local storage, on your machine, like everything else.
What gets captured
Every copy is stored in two flavours so it can land right anywhere.
Plain text, always: exactly what you'd get from a bare Ctrl+C into Notepad.
HTML, when the source has it: formatting, links and table structure survive into rich editors.
An HTML badge in the popup on items captured with formatting, so you can see at a glance which will paste rich.
Not captured: images and files. PasteQueue queues text-shaped things; picture copies pass straight through to the ordinary clipboard.
Where it works
The honest map. Browsers only let extensions intercept pastes on pages they can script.
Normal web pages · full interceptionCRMs, order forms, CMS editors, webmail, web spreadsheets: Ctrl+V pastes the front item in place and the queue advances on its own.
Google Docs and canvas editors · rotation fallbackDocs draws its editor on a canvas no extension can script into. PasteQueue detects it and rotates the clipboard instead: each paste is followed by the next item arriving, so repeated Ctrl+V still walks the queue in order.
Native apps · global rotateOutside the browser no extension can see your paste, so the queue can't advance by itself. Paste, then press the global Ctrl/Cmd+Shift+9 to load the next item; a notification confirms each step. The browser must stay running; it's where the queue lives.
Browser-internal pages · nonePages like chrome:// and the Web Store can't be scripted by any extension. Copy from them works; interception inside them doesn't.
Shortcuts
Ctrl+Shift+C Capture: add the current selection to the back of the queue (right-click works too).
Ctrl+C Copy: also joins the queue while "Capture every copy" is toggled on.
Ctrl+V While armed: paste the front item and advance the queue.
Alt+Shift+V Paste-next: paste the next item directly into the focused field (inside Chrome).
Ctrl+Shift+9 Rotate-next (global): load the next item onto the clipboard without pasting — works in any app (skip / manual advance).
Click icon Open the queue: reorder, delete, save, toggle capture.
Troubleshooting
Ctrl+V pasted the same thing twiceIn a native app that's expected until you rotate: the queue can't see pastes outside the browser, so press Ctrl/Cmd+Shift+9 after each paste to load the next item. In Google Docs it means you pasted faster than the rotation could swap items — pause a beat between pastes.
The queue isn't collecting my copiesCheck the badge: if capture is toggled off the clipboard behaves as a plain single slot. Copies made inside chrome:// pages and other non-scriptable pages also bypass the queue.
A rich paste came out as plain textThe source only offered a text flavour, or the destination field is plain. Check the item's flavour label in the popup; if it says "Text", there was no HTML to give.
Licence won't activateCheck the key matches your order email exactly (no trailing space). "Seat limit reached" means all three browsers are in use: release one on the manage page, then retry. Still stuck? Email hello@ulogon.com.
