paste-tool.js

// Using this script:
// * Right click your grey gutters in the KVM console, then click 'Inspect`.
// * Go to the 'Console' tab.
// * Paste in the below function.
// * DO NOT use the keyboard to paste - use mouse. Note that mouse only works
//   when right clicking if the text area is over the grey gutters.
// * Click paste.
//
// Note that there currently isn't a stop button once the pasting starts, you
// may abort pasting by closing the KVM tab.
