{{Event

|desc=Fired when Ctrl + V is pressed on the keyboard, assuming pastable text exists in the system clipboard. The clipboard accessed belongs to the OS within which MineCraft itself is running.<br><br>

Prior to ComputerCraft 1.6, instead of queuing a "paste" event Ctrl + V triggers a series of [[char (event)|character events]] representing the tex. Either way, only the '''first''' line of text is returned: subsequent content after the first line break is not accessible. Note that Ctrl + V generates no events at all if the clipboard does ''not'' contain pastable text - the key combo itself is invisible to ComputerCraft scripts, and only the "result" can be seen.
|return1={{type|string}} system clipboard text

{{Example
|desc=Prints out pasted text.
|code=
while true do
local event, pasted = os.pullEvent("paste")
print("Pasted text: " .. pasted)
end
|output=With each press of Ctrl + V, displays the first line of text in the system's clipboard.
