quill-paste-smart.js:3 Uncaught TypeError: e.preventDefault is not a function

I am experiencing the same issue, have you found a solution yet?

It seems that the relevant code in Quill v2 changed considerably: in particular the signature of the onPaste() callback used to accept a single event argument, but now it takes a delta and an object with text and html selection.

Hey sorry for late reply, you should actually change some parts of the source code.

If you just want a plain paste use the below code:

class PlainTextClipboard extends Quill.import('modules/clipboard') {
    constructor(quill, options) {
        super(quill, options)
        // Parse the toolbar configuration of the incoming module (that is, the two-dimensional array described earlier) and render the toolbar
    }
    onCapturePaste(e) {
        e.preventDefault()
        console.log("pasting")
        const range = this.quill.getSelection(true)
        const text = e.clipboardData.getData('text/plain')
       
        this.quill.deleteText(range.index, range.length, Quill.sources.USER)

        this.quill.insertText(range.index, text, Quill.sources.USER)
        this.quill.setSelection(range.index + text.length, Quill.sources.SILENT)
    }
}
  

make sure to add the module to quill

if you want to modify the source code, clone the repo and make changes in the onpaste function.
