Looking for a full list of jQuery event types

A non exhaustive list is at http://api.jquery.com/category/events/. There are more DOM events supported through .bind() and .live(). Those functions can assign a handler to any standard DOM event, most of which are listed along with compatibility tables at http://www.quirksmode.org/dom/events/

The .bind() method is the primary means of attaching behavior to a document. All JavaScript event types, such as focus, mouseover, and resize, are allowed for eventType.

As of jQuery 1.7, you should use .on() in place of .live() and .bind().

MDN has a good overview of majority of the standard and non-standard events

You can check out the full list of jQuery events: http://api.jquery.com/category/events/

But regarding the paste event you mentioned, jQuery can also bind to standard DOM events. A good list is provided by MDN https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/Events
