  1. The option to “Paste as Plaintext” is not discoverable at all. I only thought to try it from several minutes of frustration. Applications such as MS Word or Excel have an affordance where after pasting something, a tiny button with the option to do a “special” paste appears (e.g. Paste without Formatting and Paste Values Only (i.e. no formulas) respectively).

It would be nice to have the option to “flatten” an editor snippet to plaintext …maybe here?

  1. The CTRL+SHIFT+V for “special” paste doesn’t appear in the Keyboard Shortcuts which hurts discoverability too. It also makes me the think that it and other Cursor shortcuts are not implemented the “proper” VS Code way to allow for extensibility as well as user configuration.

1 is of course more important than 2.
