Smart Paste

With Black Night's built in Smart Paste tool, text is sent to the terminal window exactly as if you had typed it yourself.

Automatic Smart Paste

Have you ever selected "Paste" thinking there were only a few characters on the clipboard, and then found that you've just tried to insert pages 104 through 612 of the Moscow Telephone Directory. I do it all the time, so I've developed Automatic Smart Paste to ease the grief.

So, whenever you select "Paste", "Duplicate" or perform a "Drag and Drop", Black Night estimates how long the operation will take, and will automatically invoke Smart Paste if it's going to take more than a few seconds. Smart Paste keeps you informed of progress, and gives you the option to stop if you change your mind.

Taking Care of the Host

To ensure that the Host can keep up with Smart Paste's rapid typing, you can force Black Night to pause at the end of each line. You can also limit the number of character's sent in each burst. Also, Black Night gives you the option to cleanly wrap text before it gets to the right hand margin. All these options are set from the "Session Settings" dialog box.

Pasting Binary Files

As well as text files, Smart Paste can also send binary files using BinHex 4.0  encoding. This feature is useful (for example) if you want to enclose a file with an electronic mail message when your host doesn't support file attachments. You can select the encoding method in the "Send File" dialog box.
