One day, in a meeting, someone said "When people use the copy-paste feature, the text formatting should also be saved with the text. And this should be the default.And, for some reason, that person was not fired.

Funny. I search the web for an answer to this very question (who and when was this feature implemented). Found some posts asking for this very same exact question but in ALL of them the question is completely ignored and the OP is only being "explained" to use ALT-CTRL-C instead....Replying is more important than reading the post, I guess.

@kingu obviously there was a dearth of people crying out for copied text to be pasted as an image. Fuckers.

@kingu I’m pretty sure the creator of the feature was name Richard. They keep calling it “Rich Text Paste”

@lispi314 In my own biaised opinion, the proper way to do anything text editing related is do do it like Emacs do...
