Possibility of a setting to paste after selection? about maccy

I'll investigate if this possible, but I have to warn that I'm not sure when exactly I'll be able to do that.

Hi! So after using Maccy for the last month, I kind of love the current functionality. It allows me to have chosen the clipboard text in advance of placing my cursor, which is something I didn't consider would work so conveniently as a workflow for me. So while I'm sure some people would benefit from this feature, I've actually very quickly got used to the way it works now! :)

I've been trying to figure out the way to properly implement the following functionality:

1. When you hit Enter - it behaves the same as now (copy + no paste).
2. When you hit Shift + Enter - it copies and immediately pastes.

However, I haven't found a reliable way to implement this. I've tried to simulate the Cmd+V event but it doesn't always work:

  func paste() {
    let eventDown = CGEvent(keyboardEventSource: nil, virtualKey: UInt16(kVK_ANSI_V), keyDown: true)!
    eventDown.flags = .maskCommand
    eventDown.post(tap: .cghidEventTap)

    let eventUp = CGEvent(keyboardEventSource: nil, virtualKey: UInt16(kVK_ANSI_V), keyDown: false)!
    eventUp.flags = .maskCommand
    eventUp.post(tap: .cgSessionEventTap)
  }

I'm not sure what it might be related to, but since I cannot make it properly work and you mentioned you are fine with the current flow. Let's close this issue for now.

I'll be happy if somebody sends a PR with the Shift+Enter approach that works reliably.

Any news on this? Thanks
