Force Ctrl+V to always paste
Hello all,
Just wondering if anyone is aware of a setting or extension that can be used to always force Ctrl V to paste when a textbox is focused, even when the page attempts to block this.
Some pages do this to force certain fields to be typed which is extremely annoying. I noticed when about:config setting middlemouse.paste is enabled, middle clicking the textbox will paste even when Ctrl V does not. I'd like a way to make Ctrl V always work, even with middlemouse.paste disabled.
Thanks!

Unfortunately for you, web content has control over itself by design.

My reply is, yes.
The question is different but rooted in the same misconception.

Re: Force Ctrl+V to always paste
I wonder if Shift + Insert would get the job done for you. I guess it depends how they are disabling paste. If it's just disabling Ctrl + V then you should be able to paste with Shift + Insert, heck even a right click paste should work. Or any keyboard shortcut you setup on your OS for pasting.
But if they are disabling paste altogether, then you're probably out of luck. Although if they are, I'm not sure why a middlemouse.paste would work either...

You can fix some types of webpages messing with the clipboard by setting "dom.event.clipboardevents.enabled" to false. I've sometimes found this to fix sites preventing me from pasting in passwords from my password manager.
Re: Force Ctrl+V to always paste
Or use PermissionsPlus, which lets you control this and dom.event.contextmenu.enabled on a per site instead of global basis, in addition to setting site specific user agent and history overrides.petercooperjr wrote: ↑2021-07-23, 13:36You can fix some types of webpages messing with the clipboard by setting "dom.event.clipboardevents.enabled" to false.

Do you know whether PermissionsPlus causes the additional settings to appear in the Permissions Manager (about:permissions) as well as in the Permissions tab of Page INFO?
Re: Force Ctrl+V to always paste
Yes, it does by design. Since it extends the browser UI, it has to do it for both places for the sake of consistency.
