Guswut's Microsoft Clipboard Wrangler por Guswut

If you're using a clipboard manager or specialized macros (like Clipboard Fusion) on the web version of Outlook, you've likely run into that infuriating "Paste" popup right at your cursor. No idea why Microsoft, in their infinite wisdom, decided to do this, or if it is even their fault. It hijacks focus and blocks input until you manually click it and has been driving me batty!

This extension fixes that specific behavior. It targets the paste event loop on outlook.cloud.microsoft (so Outlook and Calendar) to intercept and kill the event propagation before the browser feels the need to trigger a transient activation prompt. I tried, but was not able, to also make it also send an angry letter to Bill Gates, maybe a later version will get that!

The specifics of how it works:
1) Neutralizes the "Paste" Prompt: Effectively suppresses the browser-level security popup that appears when using Ctrl + Shift + V.
2) Maintains Standard Functionality: It’s designed to be smart enough to step aside for standard Ctrl + V operations, so you aren't breaking your basic clipboard functions just to fix the advanced ones.

It's a lightweight content script running in the MAIN world to ensure it catches events before Outlook's internal listeners can trip the alarm, and only triggering on 'paste' events, so it should have next to no overhead.

Privacy: Does exactly what it says and nothing else. No data collection, no telemetry, only the baremost amount of console logging just when it starts up. Not even an options page to store your pet rocks. Maybe in the next next version?

This was built with the help (read-as I vibecoded it) of Gemini's 'fast' model. Thanks, Google and Gemini!
