 ### Injection Backends
 
 - **`ydotool`**: Uses ydotool (requires `ydotoold` daemon for ydotool v1.0.0+). Most compatible with Chromium/Electron apps.
-- **`clipboard-paste`**: Temporarily copies text to the regular clipboard, sends Ctrl+V through wtype, then restores the prior text clipboard. This works in browsers and Electron apps and is layout-independent; recommended for Dvorak/Colemak users. Requires `wl-clipboard` and `wtype`.
+- **`clipboard-paste`**: Copies text to the primary selection then sends Shift+Insert through ydotool. Fast, layout-independent, and preserves the regular clipboard; recommended for Dvorak/Colemak users.
-
-`ctrl_shift_v_classes` selects applications that need Ctrl+Shift+V instead of Ctrl+V. Matching is case-insensitive against Hyprland's active-window data, and the default `"ghostty"` handles Ghostty. Add a terminal's class substring to this list when needed.
 - **`wtype`**: Uses wtype for Wayland. May have issues with some Chromium-based apps (known upstream bug).
 - **`clipboard`**: Copies text to clipboard only. Most reliable, but requires manual paste.
