The best is to avoid using the clipboard.

Here's a variation on what you did which works without using the clipboard:

---
  <command name="my.insertAfter">
   <macro>
     <choice>
       <sequence>
         <test expression="not($selected) and not($mark) and
                           $dotOffset &gt;= 0 and
                           $dotOffset &lt; string-length($dot)"/>
         <command name="selectTo" parameter="textNodeEnd"/>
         <set variable="chars" expression="$selectedChars" />
         <command name="delete" />
         <command name="selectNode" parameter="self[implicitElement]"/>
         <command name="insertNode" parameter="sameElementAfter"/>
         <get expression="$chars" />
         <command name="paste" parameter="into %_"/>
       </sequence>
     </choice>
   </macro>
  </command>

  <binding>
    <keyPressed code="F2" />
    <command name="my.insertAfter" />
  </binding>
