interface to handle it in the capture or bubbling phases. For full details on this event please see the page on the Element: paste event.
Use the event name in methods like addEventListener()
, or set an event handler property.
addEventListener("paste", (event) => { })
onpaste = (event) => { }

window.addEventListener("paste", (event) => {
console.log("paste action initiated");
});
