Would like to be able to paste into the input field

[dme]

Now that it's possible to return a value that was not one of the initial options (-m), it would be useful to be able to paste a string into the input field.

Good idea!

Paste using the right-button menu works, but pasting with command-V does not. Reading around (I know nothing about Objective C and the relevant frameworks) it seems that this normally works because the Edit menu of an application has command-V as an accelerator for the Paste entry of the Edit menu.

choose doesn't have any menus, even invisible ones, so this accelerator is not present.

Would it be simple to add an (invisible) standard Edit menu to the application so that this "just works"?

@dme Ah yes, very good implementation idea! Just a standard Edit menu should suffice I suppose.
