I also vote for no formatted paste. But it could be behind a shortcut. No other
chat app i know has formatted paste.

IMO pasting rich text is not expected behaviour for a chat app, and the
execution creates unexpected & unreliable results.. agree that it feels like a
large deviation from the norm (Discord, Telegram, Signal, Element, IRC, etc).

I think this `paste as rich text` would be better as an off by default option
that can be toggled if desired.

Aside from playing devil's advocate a bit to make the point about user
intention, element is the only one I know with a rich text bar (it's a lab try
activating it) and that sometimes strips and sometimes doesn't e.g. heading =
stripped, bold = left which is wonderfully inconsistent.

The way I see it my real personal opinion is that I would want some but not
others, but I also assume that others (yourself included) have a different list
of what they would keep and what they would strip. The only way to square that
circle is to allow the user to tell us exactly what their intention is hence
paste special options

I think it makes more sense to paste the plain text by default and have an
option to paste with formatting at a later point. Nate's error case here is way
more likely than not having formatting when you do want it, IMO.

Definitely not in favor of guessing the user's intention. Perhaps this is a
place for an option regarding whether to paste with formatting by default, or
strip the formatting to plain text.

Out of curiosity, which chat apps do you use that don't strip formatting? All
the other ones I do strip the formatting, including Telegram, Discord, and
Element. I don't think I've encountered one that keeps formatting.

But I do  and now we're into a silly fight about who's opinion is the
correct one which is never the way to go. 

We can't be trying to guess user intention this should be pasted as rich text
... except when it shouldn't is not workable. The only reasonable way to work
is to follow the clipboard hint which in this case is rich text.

The correct answer here is a feature request to add paste special into the menu
then the user can give their intention and I don't have to try and guess and
get it wrong half the time.

Anticipating that response, I specifically addressed it in the original report:

Erm it should be the heading you linked is  so it gets pasted as  its a
rich text bar so if you copy rich text to the clipboard you get rich text out.
This is normal behaviour copy it into any word processing programme for
example.
