Features

  • Preview before you paste, with character, word, and line counts
  • Instant no-view commands for paragraphs, sentences, words, lists, and HTML
  • Type a count in the search bar (3, 5p, 20w, 8l, 120c)
  • In preview, Enter pastes into the frontmost app; copy and regenerate use Vicinae's generic action keybinds
  • No-view commands follow the Default Action preference (paste, copy, or both)
  • Classic Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet… opening, with a preference to turn it off
  • List style (dashes, numbered, or HTML) and HTML wrap (p or div)

Getting started

  1. Run Generate Lorem Ipsum, pick a preset, and press Enter to paste.
  2. Or run Generate Paragraphs, Sentences, Words, List, or HTML from root search for an instant paste.
  3. Type a number in the preview search bar. Suffixes switch type: p paragraphs, s sentences, w words, t titles, l list, h HTML, c characters.

Commands

  • Generate Lorem Ipsum – Preview presets, then paste or copy
  • Generate Paragraphs – Optional count, then paste immediately
  • Generate Sentences – Same, for sentences
  • Generate Words – Same, for words
  • Generate List – List (defaults to 5 items)
  • Generate HTML – HTML paragraphs (defaults to 1)

Preferences

  • Default Action — what no-view commands do: paste into the frontmost app (default), copy, or both
  • Classic Opening — start with Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet…
  • List Style — markdown dashes, numbered list, or an HTML <ul>
  • HTML Wrap — wrap each HTML paragraph in <p> (default) or <div>
  • Default Count — per no-view command, used when you omit the count argument
