        # 1. Force the OS to see 'ctrl' as released immediately
        # This fixes the "sticking" issue
        keyboard.release('ctrl')
        
        # 2. Wait for physical keys to be let go
        while keyboard.is_pressed('ctrl') or keyboard.is_pressed('`'):
            time.sleep(0.01)

        # 3. Brief pause to ensure the target window is ready for input
        time.sleep(0.1)

        if text:
            # If the text is very long, keyboard.write can be slow.
            # For short strings, this is fine.
            keyboard.write(text)
            
        # 4. Final safety release
        keyboard.release('ctrl')

# We use a slight delay or remove suppress=True if you notice lag 
# while typing normally.

print("Active. Press Ctrl+` to paste. Press Ctrl+Esc to stop.")
keyboard.wait('ctrl+esc')
