@rvveber at this moment this is intentional, but we've seen the request before. I feel if we'd automatically convert text from markdown - other users will run into the issue that they expect plain text.

We could take a few different approaches:

1. Automatically convert from markdown and see if this causes issues
2. Make this an editor setting, so developers can enable / disable this at will
3. Actually offload paste behavior to the user "paste plain", "paste rich text", etc. (similar to gdocs / notion). Seems a bit overkill at this point I think though

I'm adding this to our issue tracker (@virgile-dev can prioritize), and will keep an eye out for similar request from the community

We have a lot of users coming from Hedgedoc (using markdown) so I get asked about this frequently.
We even had to implement this M button in our toolbar.

@YousefED I'd go for the first option you suggest.

I'm bringing up this issue because, in terms of UX, the M is poorly (if not completely) understood by users in Docs, and user-wise it would be helpful to have a copy/paste feature without worrying about the format.

Where do we stand on prioritizing this issue? Would it be complicated to address? @virgile-dev @YousefED

wip, see: #1490

For pasting something un-formatted the shortcut is usually:
ctrl + shift + v
or
cmd + shift + v

Would be nice to have that working.
If users complain about automatically converting to markdown
educate them with the proper universal shortcut.

@rvveber I'll create a separate issue for your suggestion
