Description

I am on the latest Hyper.app version

I have searched the issues of this repo and believe that this is not a duplicate
-
OS version and name: MacOS High Sierra 10.13.3
-
Hyper.app version: Hyper 2.0.0-canary.16

Relevant information from devtools (CMD+ALT+I on macOS, CTRL+SHIFT+I elsewhere):

The issue is reproducible in vanilla Hyper.app: Yes, just tested and it happens with a freshly generated .hyper.js file in canary.
Issue
Randomly when opening vim, hyper seems to immediately paste what's in my clipboard to the open buffer. It also seems to paste a random number of times. Sometimes it's 6 times, others it's only one time. I can then hold u to undo everything, but it's quite annoying. It doesn't always happen, but happens quite frequently when I've recently copied something to my clipboard. I'd also like to note that it has never happened with iTerm or Terminal.app, but has been happening for the last 6+ months since I started using Hyper 😢

Do any other vim users have this issue?

Research direction
Start by reproducing the issue in vanilla Hyper on macOS with a freshly generated .hyper.js, opening vim after copying text to the clipboard. Use the DevTools entry point described in the report to investigate the repeated paste events; done means vim no longer receives unsolicited clipboard pastes when it opens.
