The article explains how to customize the behavior of text pasting in a textarea by manipulating the cursor's position using `selectionStart` and `selectionEnd`. It emphasizes the challenge that occurs when pasting text: by default, the cursor moves to the end of the input. To run custom logic on pasted text, developers can listen for `paste` events. Additionally, it discusses limitations of clearing the clipboard directly and explores ways to use the Clipboard API safely in web applications.
Pasting text in a textarea will position the cursor at the end of the input unless otherwise programmed.
To paste text at a specific cursor location, you need to manage the `selectionStart` and `selectionEnd` properties of the textarea.
You can clear the clipboard data via the Clipboard API, but direct manipulation of the system clipboard is limited for web applications.
Implement an event listener for the 'paste' event to capture and manipulate pasted text appropriately.
