The 10x Pretender is a VS Code extension that makes you look like a coding genius by simulating realistic typing from your clipboard or AI-generated code. Perfect for live coding demos, presentations, or impressing colleagues with your "incredible" typing speed.
## Note
To use the 10x Pretender extension:
1. Obtain a Google Generative AI API key from [Google AI Studio](https://aistudio.google.com/apikey).
2. Set the API key in the extension settings to enable Gemini code generation.
3. Toggle the typing mode using the status bar icon or keyboard shortcut.
## Features
- **Realistic Typing Simulation:** Automatically types text from your clipboard at a natural pace.
- **AI-Powered Code Generation:** Integrates with Google's Gemini API to generate code snippets based on your plain English descriptions.
- **Status Bar Controls:** Easily toggle, pause, stop, and restart typing with visible status bar icons.
- **Pause/Resume Functionality:** Pause typing at any point and resume when you're ready.
- **Seamless Cursor Tracking:** Automatically pauses typing when you move the cursor to a different position, and resumes when you return.
- **Custom Text Entry:** Manually input text to be typed out if you don't want to use clipboard content.
- **Visual Status Indicators:** Clear visual feedback showing the current state (typing, paused, generating).
## Requirements
- A stable internet connection is required to use the Gemini code generation feature.
- You must have a Google Generative AI API key to use the AI code generation feature. You can get one at [Google AI Studio](https://aistudio.google.com/apikey).
## How to Use
1. **Using Clipboard Content:**
- Copy any code or text to your clipboard
- Click the "10x Pretender: Off" button in the status bar to toggle it on
- Watch as the extension types out your clipboard content
2. **Using AI-Generated Code:**
- Run the "Generate Code with Gemini" command from the command palette
- Enter a description of the code you want to create
- Choose whether to start typing the generated code immediately
3. **Using Custom Text:**
- Run the "Set Custom Text" command from the command palette
- Enter the text you want to type out
- Choose whether to start typing immediately
## Extension Settings
- `abd-dev.geminiApiKey`: API key for Google Generative AI.
- `abd-dev.geminiModel`: Model to use for code generation (default: gemini-2.0-flash-001).
## Commands
To access the commands, press `Ctrl+Shift+P` (Windows/Linux) or `Cmd+Shift+P` (Mac) to open the command palette and type the following commands:
- **10x Pretender: Toggle Typing Mode:** `10x-pretender.toggle`

- **10x Pretender: Pause/Resume Typing:** `10x-pretender.pause` (Keyboard shortcut: `Ctrl+Alt+P` on Windows/Linux, `Cmd+Alt+P` on Mac)
## Use Cases
- **Live Coding Demonstrations:** Prepare your code beforehand and have it typed out as if you're coding in real-time.
- **Presentations:** Showcase code examples without typing mistakes or delays.
