I think it would be really nice to be able to send multiple lines of text using the Type Text action.

Currently I'm using VoiceBot to facilitate my programming by inserting code snippets, but I have to do this using a hacky solution. My solution at the moment is to have VoiceBot run a seperate script to send the formated multi line text snippet. This is a bit tedious to setup for every snippet and it would be so much nicer to just have it all implemented directly into Type Text action.

Also it would be nice to not have to reformat my snippets with \n (newline) or \t (tab)
So a multi line textbox would be really nice!

This is currently on our feature request list, so I've added your vote to it. We'll be sure to let you know if/when we're able to implement it in the future.

Thanks!

We've just released VoiceBot 3.0 Beta 2, and the "Type Text" command now uses a multi-line text box.

Thanks!

That's great news! I'm looking forward to trying it once I get beta 2 working. Does it retain whitespaces, tabs, and newlines?

It sure does! It will strip spaces, tabs, and line breaks from the very start and end of the string, but anything in between will be kept.
