I wonder if there's a way NOT to have to put in a bunch of blank lines
to hold the text that will be overlaid - just curious - it's easy enough

to press Enter a few times!

I've not looked, so maybe there's something already.

Nope. Somebody needs to request a "pasteBlock" action. It would
do an insert from clipboard just as the "paste" action does, except that
it would align pasted lines under the current text cursor position -- as
"pasteOverlay" does -- while inserting additional blank lines as needed,
of course.
