>paste text
>(keeps source formatting)
has anyone ever wanted this feature? why does it even exist, much less as the default option? in what possible FUCKING scenario would i want to paste something into a document while retaining the source formatting?

I do that all the time. I don’t want to reclick bold button, retype asterisk, etc.

normies copy and paste stuff because they like how it looks and they expect it to just look the exact same way no matter what they are copying it from or pasting it into

It's great if you're staying within a single vendor's ecosystem, like copy/pasting bullet points between Microsoft Outlook/Teams/Azure DevOps

The minute more than one vendor gets involved it's just fucking annoying though because no-one can agree on anything and it screws up the paste

just hold shift while pasting

what I don't understand is how the fuck jdownloader knows what URL the youtube video/playlist has even though I only selected and copy pasted the video's title?
take this for example
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=D17Oqpd7atI

I select the title, copy it
paste it in this post:
>Richard Stallman - Free Software and Freedom in a Digital Society
and the moment I copy it jewdownloader adds it to its list

It's only ok when you're copypasting within the same application. I don't want the fonts and text sizes to transfer when copying few words from a Word document to an email in Outlook.

do not tell me that you knew when you copied text your clipboard contained a ton of other information besides what you copied.

Yes, I did. I find it baffling that people didn't know about this. Do you just go on about your life without questioning anything? Do you just accept and say "heh it do be like that!!!" to everything?
You've never questioned how the fuck sometimes the stuff you paste comes formatted differently then searched about it? Did you just passively accept that jesus himself formatted the text again for your convenience?

and even if it did, to go from "clipboard contains font size" or whatever to "clipboard contains full entire URL and name of the executable and social security number" is a huge retarded leap and you know it

Then you should go back to wherever the fuck you came from.

You're the type of person to say how retarded niggers are despite behaving more like a fucking baboon than them.
The fact that some styling gets transferred should be the reason why you search how the fuck the clipboard works, not the final conclusion. Retard.
Now go back, I suppose you still need to learn what a folder is or something.
