Using an intermediate text editor also works, and would take care of any
UTF8 conversion too if that's causing issues. But since you're in LC
already it might be more convenient to have a handler in a backscript or a
plugin that would do it.

Well that is a pain in the bum!
I suppose I should go through an intermediate stage using a

It happens when a colorized handler is copied directly from the script
editor and pasted into a list response. The list only understands plain
text, and styled text confuses it. I'm not sure if it happens on all
platforms but we've seen it before in other posts.

Okay, I missed that in the entry. That explains why the pasteKey message
wasn't working.
I am all set now. Thank you.

Nice catch Tore.
My original code was addressing a different couple of problems. The first was
that when you attempted to populate the clipboard with plain text that LC would
also put an HTML version on that would cause issues with paste in other apps.
The second is designed to adjust the HTML

Strike that last remark.
BUT: that script expects one to press the CONTROL key on the Mac
rather than the COMMAND key one usually uses to PASTE,
so how that can be achieved on a Windows or a Linux machine I just don't
know.

Using LC9, I want to add a "paste without formatting" (as seen in may
browser edit menus) command and I can't see to figure out how to do it.
My most recent attempt of many still pastes formatted text (with
underlining, bolding, italics, fonts, colors, etc. in place)
