Possibility of a setting to paste after selection?

[lowercasename]

I was wondering if you would consider adding an optional setting in Maccy to simulate a Cmd+V keypress after a string is chosen in Maccy - thus pasting whatever has just been moved into the clipboard at the current position of the cursor? I'm not sure how feasible this is on macOS without demanding accessibility permissions from everything.

I'll investigate if this possible, but I have to warn that I'm not sure when exactly I'll be able to do that.

Hi! So after using Maccy for the last month, I kind of love the current functionality. It allows me to have chosen the clipboard text in advance of placing my cursor, which is something I didn't consider would work so conveniently as a workflow for me. So while I'm sure some people would benefit from this feature, I've actually very quickly got used to the way it works now! :)

I've been trying to figure out the way to properly implement the following functionality:

1. When you hit Enter - it behaves the same as now (copy + no paste).
2. When you hit Shift + Enter - it copies and immediately pastes.

However, I haven't found a reliable way to implement this. I've tried to simulate the Cmd+V event but it doesn't always work:

  func paste() {
    let eventDown = CGEvent(keyboardEventSource: nil, virtualKey: UInt16(kVK_ANSI_V), keyDown: true)!
    eventDown.flags = .maskCommand
    eventDown.post(tap: .cghidEventTap)

    let eventUp = CGEvent(keyboardEventSource: nil, virtualKey: UInt16(kVK_ANSI_V), keyDown: false)!
    eventUp.flags = .maskCommand
    eventUp.post(tap: .cgSessionEventTap)
  }

I'm not sure what it might be related to, but since I cannot make it properly work and you mentioned you are fine with the current flow. Let's close this issue for now.

I'll be happy if somebody sends a PR with the Shift+Enter approach that works reliably.

Any news on this? Thanks
