Per the Rejected or Rolled Back Features list, we don't allow

Plugins which programmatically insert text into the user's chatbox input for any reason (pasting messages, shorthand expansion, etc.). This is considered to be autotyping. The only way text can get into the chatbox is if the user is pressing keys themselves.

Is there any version of this plugin that could realistically be allowed? If no, feel free to close.

I mainly want a way to move through a chat message with a cursor so I can edit/delete earlier parts of a chat message without also having to delete everything after it. I'm happy to try things to make this work like:

  • removing the ability to paste
  • removing the auto send feature
  • ditching the built in ChatboxTextInput and implementing something custom
  • any other ideas

Here's a gif showing my ideal use case with the auto send off. Let me know if this just doesn't seem possible within the rules.
