possible fix for #239

[MarcMush]

adds a keybind (ctrl-V but we could change) to paste directly

by using InteractiveUtils.clipboard()

allows nearly instant paste in julia 1.5 and it feels truly instant in julia 1.6

doesn't work in WSL (need to install xsel or xclip)

This is a quick fix I did when I discovered clipboard() today, I don't know much about it, feel free to do it differently

It might also allow to re-enable enable_autocomplete_brackets which was disabled due to #113

[MarcMush]

I really feel this should be added to OhMyREPL (maybe with another keybind, and only for windows users)

or, alternatively, fix it the same way it has been in julia 1.7? it has been improved, but it's still not great, even without OhMyREPL. With OhMyREPL however, it's still horribly slow

each time I load julia with --startup-file no (which means I don't have the fix from #239 (comment)), I slightly die inside when I have to paste something

I can't imagine any windows user using OhMyREPL in the current state

What happens on e.g. WSL?

Base has some timing functionality to deal with slow paste on Windows now (JuliaLang/julia#39538). Perhaps we can do something similar to that.

basically instant in WSL, even with OhMyREPL for 5k characters ! 🎉
(I updated #239 (comment))
I tested with 1.7.0-beta4 for both windows and wsl

[MarcMush]

...but only in Windows Terminal, in the crappy default terminal it takes about 4 seconds (for the test in #239)

[KristofferC]

If possible, I think trying to do the same as the REPL itself does with the timing is preferable because that should work on the old windows terminal and it is also good to not let the implementation here drift too far away from the one in Julia itself.
