Is it possible using some sort of client side code to detect cut and paste?
The only solution I can think of is to constantly get the text length and if it changes drastically over a certain period, then assume text was pasted.

Yes. Add a keydown event listener and look for keyCode 86 and e.ctrlKey == true. It looks like this has been asked and answered in this post and this post

If the purpose is just to detect if a text was pasted i will use both suggested ways:the one from umop, watching when the V key and control key are pressed simultaneously and if some text have incremented drastically...

It seems like the only way you'd know if the text changed through all the crazy ways text can be inserted into a textbox might be to monitor the value in an Interval...checking for when the next interval value was different from the previous...that would detect any form of change but it isn't a very neat solution (seems overkill)...
