Title: [Tip] Quickly accessing placeholder text
Post by: Paul (Lead Developer) on March 15, 2026, 01:06:37 PM
One of AlomWare Toolbox's variables for its actions is called lorem$, and it's the first part of the famous Lorem ipsum (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lorem_ipsum) text. So when you need to test something with some placerholder text and you don't want to randomly bash your keyboard to generate some gibberish to use, you can use an action like below to insert the Lorem ipsum text for you (without losing the current text in the clipboard).

0001 Keyboard: Paste this text "lorem$"
(End)

Here's what happens when you use a hotkey with this action in Notepad:
