As _preview/_efChanged is triggered on EFery key press, I wonder if 
it'd be more efficient to detect cmd-v (paste) with system events?

_cmdKeyCode = 0x37
local fn IsCmdKeyDown
dim keys(15) as char
call GetKeys(keys(0))
end fn = -((keys(_cmdKeyCode>>3) >> (_cmdKeyCode and 7)) and 1)

local fn DoEvent
dim ev  as ^EventRecord
dim as char theChar
ev = event
select ev.what
case _keyDwnEvt
long if fn IsCmdKeyDown
theChar = (ev.message and _charCodeMask)
if (theChar == _"V") or (theChar == _"v") then fn FilterScrap
end if
end select
end fn
