Please make it possible to send text as keystrokes, so that a list I have
a
b
c
d
sends a{enter}b{enter} etc -

Do you mean a new feature under the "Convert" menu? -

Yes please because, at this time, I don't see how it relates to a clipboard editing. -

It relates to pasting data into a form.
For example, if I have 5 bits of information that must go into a form online that I wish to paste it in, if those forms are navigatable with the tab key, I could separate my bits of information by the tab key.
So if the forms were,
Name, date, comments, contact, and they were separated by tabs I could format my clipboard to have the information for each field separated by a tab and the information would go into the intended form field.
However, with just standard paste, all that info goes into the first field. -

Interesting. I see what you mean: "paste as keystrokes".
For example, assuming `t is interpreted as {Tab} as in most QCE dialog boxes,
Code:12`t34
56`t78
would be pasted as
Code:12 34
56 78
But if the editor content includes tabs or line breaks as in this example (use Ctrl+Tab to insert a tab in the editor):
Code:123 456 789
ABC DEF HIJ
this will be pasted as keystrokes, at least in my test in Excel:
