Wouldn't the students just copy-paste the bit they can see? How does the hidden part get included?

Control-a, control-c, control-p

Select all, copy, paste

I use it in command line where control v won't work.

Ahh; 🧠. I usually just use ctrl + shift + v but that could come in handy where the other binding isn't available.

ctrl + shift + v is usually "paste as a plain text", if your setup supports copy-paste the text attribtutes

Then paste would reveal all the copied text though, including the previously hidden instruction.

Yeah, if they even bother to read it.
