Issue #4352: Text copy & paste without format
Closes: #4352
Description
This merge request adds a Paste Unformatted Text
item inside the right-click menu of Text Tool, which allows user to paste previously copied, possibly formatted (marked) text as plain text with no markups.
Behavior
Current Problems
-
Unsuccessful attempt to add shortcut (accelerator) to the Paste Unformatted Text
item.Tried to define the corresponding accelerator inside
text_tool_actions
(app/actions/text-tool-actions.c:65) as{ "<primary><shift><alt>V", NULL }
(the same as in LibreOffice), but no actions were performed when the key combination was pressed.Modification of app/actions/edit-actions.c is possibly needed, but it would affect GIMP's overall actions at a larger scale.By adding correct key combination into the gimp_text_tool_editor_key_press function it now works. -
Decide which shortcut to use ( Ctrl+Shift+Alt+V
/Ctrl+Shift+V
)LibreOffice uses
Ctrl+Shift+Alt+V
to paste unformatted text, but having to press four keys make it harder to use.Ctrl+Shift+V
has its own usage in GIMP (creating new image from clipboard) but it still makes sense if it's only limited in the scope of text tool.
