I think you misunderstood. I meant:
Cmd+p ==> the print-it popup
Cmd+v ==> add the print-it text in the original text editor

So, the second step is a pseudo-mode with a visual feedback, not like in Emacs.

So, Cmd+v would leave the clipboard untouched, and ‘KJHJKKJ’ would still remain 
there.

But, perhaps Cmd+v is too much of an overlap.

Interesting. I am doing the same. So, what is the difference between this case 
and:
left thumb (finder 1) on cmd
left finger 4 on shift and right finger 2
right finger 4 or 5 on arrows
?

Great. I booked it in my calendar.
