Hi,

I totally agree with most of what you say..

concerning this one problem you have with pasting formated web-texts I
think there is a better solution already implemented in LibreOffice.

You can use the shortcut Control+Shift+V to paste "special. There you
can choose "unformatted text" and paste it without having to use the
workaround with gedit. In my Libreoffice I created a macro that does the
"paste without formatting" and assigned  a shortcut to that. This works
fine!

best Regards
