Issue: Bug with Kinto Interfering with Text Replacement Tools

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
Kinto interferes with text replacement tools like Espanso and Beeftext on Windows 11 (version 23H2). When attempting to trigger a text replacement/snippet, the clipboard manager appears instead of the expected snippet, preventing the text from being pasted correctly. This occurs across multiple snippet tools with different backends, as demonstrated in the attached documentation.
Reference:

Bug Documentation:
Here is a visual example showing the issue when Kinto is running in the background:

Describe the solution you'd like
Ensure Kinto is compatible with text replacement/snippet software like Espanso and Beeftext. The solution should allow these tools to function normally, pasting the intended snippets without interference from Kinto’s clipboard behavior.

Describe alternatives you've considered
I've tried using different text replacement tools (e.g., Espanso) and modifying Kinto's AutoHotkey (AHK) settings to avoid conflicts, but none of these approaches have worked effectively.

I don't know on which side the issue can be fixed and I really don't expect either of you to fix it, but perhaps one of you can look into it.

Thanks

I noticed that espanso/beeftext gets the text correctly to the clipboard, but they fails to paste it/replace the text after putting it in to the clipboard...

I noticed that clipboard manager does not work at all with kinto, which is more serious (not related to espanso or any other text replacements/snippets softwares) I mean the native Windows clipboard manager, once using kinto it stops pasting anything when selecting anything from windows native clipboard manager.
