# Pasting Text to Target

Easily paste text from the host computer to the target computer, streamlining workflows and increasing productivity.

Kiwi lets you send host clipboard text to the target computer by simulating keystrokes. The keyboard layouts on the host and target must match to prevent errors. First, copy the text you want to transfer to your clipboard. Then use the keyboard shortcut, or choose Tools -> Paste Text to Target, to paste it to the target computer.

{% hint style="info" %}
The keyboard shortcut by default is Ctrl+Shift+P; prior to v1.5.15 it was Ctrl+Shift+V.

In either case, they can be re-mapped in the Settings > Hotkeys tab.
{% endhint %}

{% hint style="warning" %}
There is a 1,000-character limit on the amount of text you can paste to the target computer each time.
{% endhint %}
