Get keyboard strokes

Is it possible for PAD to see keyboard strokes?

I want the clipboard to cycle thru a list, basically inserting the next list item into the clipboard after the first was pasted, Ideally, as soon as it detects the "Ctrl+V" combination it should loop to the next list item.

I was trying the "wait for shortcut key" and set it to "Ctrl + V", but PAD took over the "Ctrl+V", and it did not paste any text while it was action.

Is there a way for PAD to detect keystrokes passively? Alternatively it would be nice if it can detect the clipboard paste action.
