Description

Once a large paste begins, you cannot abort the keystrokes gracefully. Provide a graceful way to stop the paste. In a clipboard tool I wrote for myself, I do this by stopping playback of the clipboard contents if you wiggle your mouse.

Research direction

No file or test is named in the issue. Start by locating the code that plays clipboard contents and determine how mouse movement or another user action can interrupt it safely; done means a large paste stops gracefully without leaving playback in an inconsistent state.
