I totally agree on that :) Maybe it should instead be xml-based, using formats, but that would only work inside OOo itself, so... > So if formatted text cut & pasted text is generalized: > 1. it must be de-activable desktop-wide > 2. it must not move plain text cut and paste to some other shortcut +1. > 3. avoiding it must not rely on an inefficient dialog that asks to > select from a list Well, problem is shift-ctrl-v in OOo opens the popup with the exact same selection that would have been used for ctrl-v, so it forces you to select in the list (even if with arrow keys), that makes at least 3 strokes. Maybe selecting plain text by default would be handy. François. _______________________________________________ xdg mailing list [email protected] http://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/xdg
