Advanced human-like clipboard auto-typer with position tracking, Gaussian delay distribution, and enhanced resume capability
- Smart position tracking - Resume typing from exactly where you left off
- Thread-safe position management with real-time synchronization
- Visual position markers (⚡) in preview text
- Progress percentage tracking with remaining character count
- NumPy-powered Gaussian timing for ultra-realistic typing patterns
- Statistical delay variation using normal distribution curves
- Graceful fallback to enhanced random distribution if NumPy unavailable
- Context-aware timing based on character complexity and patterns
- Intelligent whitespace handling - removes trailing spaces and excessive gaps
- Preserves intentional formatting (code indentation, structured data)
- Multi-line text optimization with smart line break management
- Before/after cleaning statistics with character count comparison
- Dynamic flow transitions every 12-35 characters (improved from 20-50)
- Four distinct typing personalities: Steady, Rushed, Careful, Thinking
- Contextual flow switching based on content type and typing rhythm
- Real-time flow state display in progress updates
- 0.6% typo rate with realistic correction patterns
- Enhanced character-specific delays for 30+ character types
