I have an app which also needs to do strange things to the clipboard before pasting (ie it takes what's in the clipboard, modifies it in various ways, then lets Rev paste the modified version, then restores the original). It's a long time since I wrote this part, but I've been working with it in the IDE fine.
Looking at why this works for me; it's because the app has its own menubar. I trap the menupick message so I can handle the paste command in my own way; the command key processing goes through this. Since the custom menubar is set as the menubar for the stack (at least in Mac OS) it all just works pretty naturally. Whenever I'm working in the stack, its own menubar is in force; and either command-V or the paste command on the menu go through my code. I don't have to suspend the IDE; the standard toolbar is there, and if I click someone other than my stack, eg in any blank space on the standard toolbar, the Rev menubar appears.
I develop on Mac (though deploy x-platform) - mileage may be different on Windows.
