The result of the paste command is incorrect

[Davider]

The code below is an example. I use the Shift+Enter hotkey to paste the text from the editor into the desired location.

It works in Notepad, but it doesn't work in a text box in the chrome browser. It outputs the content of the clipboard instead.
I've tried writing the content from the editor to the clipboard first, and it always works. However, it overwrites the content in the clipboard.

Is there a better solution?

Thank you in advance for any suggestions and help.

I cannot reproduce. If does not work only after a dialog, try to insert a delay before pasting, eg 0.5 s.

[Davider]

I have encountered many similar situations, sometimes adding a delay works, sometimes it is ineffective.

[Gintaras]

Probably 'paste' restores the old clipboard text too soon. Normally it waits until somebody gets the new temporary clipboard text, but other clipboard software can break it. If using a clipboard program, try to disable. Including the Windows "Clipboard history".

Or create a function that pastes and waits a fixed amount of time.
Function PasteSlow

;/
function str'text

str old.getclip
text.setclip
key Cv
wait 0.5
old.setclip
