I have this mostly working, but it's not a satisfactory solution.
My problem is with posting the CGEvents for a command-v operation.
I've found that if I do everything inline (snapshot, replace, paste,
restore snapshot), then the restore operation executes before the
CGEvent gets processed. It posts just fine, but it seems like the
execution of the event is asynchronous.
What if you only put a promise on the pasteboard? When the pasteboard
server asks you to fulfill the promise, you can be reasonably certain
that it was because the paste operation in the other app is underway.
You can fulfill the promise and then schedule the restoration of the
original pasteboard contents with a 0 delay (or maybe 0.2, or
something).
