       What's the rationale for the shift from Ctrl+k to Ctrl+v for adding a hyperlink to text?I find it confusing because I expect different behavior from Ctrl+v (replace with clipboard contents).

       @ntnsndr so far I have only seen this done in slack and it seems wrong. What if you intended to overwrite the selected text with the contents of your clipboard instead?

       @Eliot_L it is also used in @matrix and I think Notion. Seems more common now than Ctrl+k, which I only now encounter in dinosaurs like Google Docs and @thunderbird

       @ntnsndr @Eliot_L @thunderbird rationale seems to be "ctrl+k = fast switcher; ctrl+v = paste. but if you paste a URL over something, turn it into a hyperlink"
