Interesting. The problem is that given you a way around this restriction without talking to them will just cause an arms race. They don't want JavaScript to interfere with their editor for some reason. You do to have that power. Right now they check for `isTrusted`, but if you get the ability to run `beforeinput`/`paste` and other events with `isTrusted`, they will look for the next thing - for example they can time it and see if a human would be capable of typing so fast.  Maybe we should ask @juliankrispel why he wants to disable it and how he would feel if we give you a new way around his restriction. Note: assigning `isTrusted` to beforeinput event would actually make it harder to deal with on `EditContext` as editors there know that `isTrusted` `bfeoreinput` events are automatically dealt with and should therefore not be handled in JavaScript.
