thanks, option 1 worked.
Option 1 is easier:
# this is the default in pd_bindings.tcl bind all <$::modifier-Key-v> {menu_send %W paste}
# disabled bind all <$::modifier-Key-v> {break}
Option 2 requires either overriding ::pd_menucommands::menu_send and intercepting the paste message or changing the paste handling in the core, I think.
Option 3: Maybe flatgui/entry shouldn't always go into edit mode (a bug) or at least have some way to control it's behavior (a feature)?
It doesn't offer those options, and I imagine that it won't be further developed. For the current context, it will work. Btw, the results of this patch will be presented in Berlin in 8/03: http://kontraklang.de/concert/the-talking-concert/
Best,
