I personally don't see a way around this one - associated security risk
is too high to allow especially paste from javascript code without user
initiating the operation.

Had an easy solution thought as I ironed my 'Sunday best'... Store the text in a string list (slMyClipboard) and activating a 'Paste' button if slMyClipboard has content.

The only thing I need to consider is if I can insert (paste) the text into the exact location of the cursor in the MultiLineEdit, or if I need to just have it appended.

This is in addition to letting the users know to use Ctrl X/C/V/A.
