Make formatting in translate opt in

KarolyNegyesi

Right now ctrl+v is unusuable in translate it shows some bullshit popup. Remove it, make it opt in if you must but make paste usable again.

ctrl+v pastes text. end.

Use shift+ctrl+v to plain paste (without formating). This is a consistent shortcut across many apps/oses (ctrl+v pastes with formating, shift+ctrl+v pastes without) not just with kagi translate. It is probably handled by your browser so not even kagi website.

The issue/feature request is that Ctrl+V should paste plain text by default, without ever having to touch the Shift key.

In Firefox-based browsers for example you can disable the clipboard events API (dom.event.clipboardevents.enabled), which does disable formatted paste in Kagi Translate and other numerous services, BUT also causes a load of other issues in overengineered web-based text editors and overengineered input fields that hard-depend on the clipboard events API for whatever reason, instead of letting the web browser handle the text buffer and paste events.

Another option would be to install a system-wide clipboard filter that removes/strips certain MIME types like HTML from the copied text, so the next paste event only sees plain text data.

In a perfect world the web browser would allow you to swap Ctrl+V and Ctrl+Shift+V to make Ctrl+V a plain text paste, and Shift a formatted paste.

Why introduce a non-standard behaviour that may break other users' workflow? "Touching the shift key" is not hard or anything. It is standard behaviour across many apps, websites etc. Somebody may want to preserve formatting.
