Well, using a 160Mo external editor was not my idea of a simple pasting option 😉

I hoped more for an addition of ten lines of code:

javascript

document.addEventListener('paste', function (evt) {
  document.getElementById("plain").textContent = evt.clipboardData.getData('text/plain');
  document.getElementById("html").textContent = evt.clipboardData.getData('text/html');
}

Python gtk

#!/usr/bin/env python
import gtk
print (gtk.Clipboard().wait_for_contents('text/html')).data

qt

void DropArea::paste()
{
    const QClipboard *clipboard = QApplication::clipboard();
    const QMimeData *mimeData = clipboard->mimeData();

    if (mimeData->hasImage()) {
        setPixmap(qvariant_cast<QPixmap>(mimeData->imageData()));
    } else if (mimeData->hasHtml()) {
        setText(mimeData->html());
        setTextFormat(Qt::RichText);
    } else if (mimeData->hasText()) {
        setText(mimeData->text());
        setTextFormat(Qt::PlainText);
    } else {
        setText(tr("Cannot display data"));
    }
