Hi @baevga,
These are custom events that we emit, not specific editor events.
If you are looking to use the tinymce paste editor event you could get the editor instance from our setup event then listen for the paste event on the editor, like so:

<script>
window.addEventListener('editor-tinymce::setup', event => {

	const {editor} = event.detail;
	editor.on('paste', pasteEvent => {
		console.log('A tinymce paste event occurred!');
	});
	
});
</script>

If you are looking to use the tinymce `paste` editor event you could get the editor instance from our setup event then listen for the paste event on the editor, like so: ```html <script> window.addEventListener('editor-tinymce::setup', event => { const {editor} = event.detail; editor.on('paste', pasteEvent => { console.log('A tinymce paste event occurred!'); }); }); </script> ```

Wow, thank you

But i still can't figure out how to get my main goal, maybe you can give me an advice.

I try to clean width atribute and wrap table in DIV for overflow scroll after paste from word. I checked tinymce site and found that it has specific plugin for that purposes https://www.tiny.cloud/docs/plugins/opensource/paste/

Is it possible to enable it and work with it events?

Or maybe it is possible to do with example you sent to me above?

Thank you

Hi @baevga,
That paste open source plugin is already active in our default configuration of the editor:
8594f42584/resources/js/wysiwyg/config.js (L72)
Not sure how you're expecting to use that plugin to achieve what you defined though.

If you're intending to alter the pasted content you may want to listen to the PastePostProcess editor event:
https://www.tiny.cloud/docs/advanced/events/#pasteevents
You'll have to see what that provides, and likely manipulate the content if possible before it gets added to the editor.
Depending on exactly what you're doing, you may end up fighting with the editor's configured filtering in terms of what elements and attributes are allowed, and hence might require tweaking of the editor config.

Just to confirm, none of these style of tweaks are considered supported nor stable in any way.
