Hello! I have this constant issue where I copy a code snippet from the editor and can’t paste it into the composer window. This is pretty annoying as it’s a huge part of my workflow.

For some reason it only lets me paste single line code snippets.  
Maybe it’s an issue with cursor attempting to paste it as a code block instead of plain text?

Maybe find a way to allow just pasting in plain text instead of the code blocks it auto creates?
