Hello,

I'm extremely impressed with this plugin, but I'm having trouble with glitches in posts caused by users copying/pasting content from other posts or other sites. The poster is totally unaware that they've copied a bunch of extra HTML code because it doesn't show up in the live editor, only the source code window.

It's not very practical to try to teach every user to always click the Paste As Text button before pasting something into a post, so I am wondering if there is a way to set the "Paste as Text" button to automatically enabled, and the poster has to unclick it in order to Paste as Rich Text?

If not, I would really appreciate this feature/setting in the future.

Thanks.

Hi @rosabeth,

Sorry for the late response.

We will take it into consideration, and if it possible we'll make it optional in future releases. I'll let you know once I get some news about it.
Currently, you can use the CTRL+SHIFT+V combination.

In case you want to say thank you !)
We'd really appreciate and be thankful if you leave a good review on plugin page. This is the best way to say thank you to this project and support team.
