Chrome Remote Desktop does not support the drag-and-drop functionality for entering credentials that TeamViewer provides. To address this limitation, we can create an AutoHotkey script that types out the clipboard contents using a specific hotkey combination.

Works on

• Windows operating systems with AutoHotkey installed

Steps to Create and Use the AutoHotkey Script for Chrome Remote Desktop

1. Download and Install AutoHotkey:
   1. Visit the official AutoHotkey website.
   2. Download and install the latest version of AutoHotkey.
2. Create a New AutoHotkey Script:
   1. Right-click on your desktop or in a folder.
   2. Select New > AutoHotkey Script.
   3. Name your script file (e.g., TypeClipboardContents.ahk).
3. Edit the Script:
   1. Right-click on the script file and select Edit Script.
   2. Replace the default content with the following code:

      #SingleInstance force
      #Requires AutoHotkey v1.1
      ^!v:: ; Ctrl+Alt+V
          ClipSaved := ClipboardAll ; Save the entire clipboard to a variable
          Clipboard := Clipboard ; Retrieve the plain text content of the clipboard
          ClipWait ; Wait until the clipboard contains data
          SendRaw %Clipboard% ; Send the entire clipboard contents at once
          Clipboard := ClipSaved ; Restore the original clipboard content
          ClipSaved := "" ; Clear the variable
      return

   3. Save the script file.
4. Run the Script:
   1. Double-click the script file to run it.
   2. Press Ctrl+Alt+V to type out the contents of the clipboard.

Additional Notes

• This script uses the SendRaw command to handle symbols more effectively.
• The script saves and restores the clipboard contents to prevent data loss.
