Any low level key stroke filter out there

[Tom Horsley]

Google chrome Ctrl-V pastes utter nonsense, expanding URLs into the URL link
in the new commenting system on the Washington Post. I can't stand
it any longer. Is there a low level keystroke filter available for
fedora that would let me detect Ctrl-V and change it to Ctrl-Shift-V
before any app can see it and do something silly? (Naturally in the
0.000001% possibility I actually want the Ctrl-V default, I'd
want to swap the meaning of the two keystrokes).

Are you sure it is chrome doing it?   And it is not the new commenting
system doing it when it detects you pasted in a link?   You might try
typing a link and I bet it will also do it then.  I only have one web page
I type in that is doing that and it started doing that on an update of said
website.    And yes, it is annoying.  There was an option in the web page
settings to stop it from doing that.

Is it a copyright paranoid site that decides to do all it can do to
prevent people doing copy and paste?  (Killing hotkeys and right-click
mouse operations)

Nope, it is "New and Improved!", it didn't used to work that way.
