David,

I have updated the code as per the prechecker suggestions. Is there a way to run it again and see if all of the issues have been corrected and if any new ones arise?

This is one of the most urgently required plugins. In particular while working with Chrome, cut&paste in the editor adds a lot of style garbage. So I highly appreciate this plugin (even if I think that ATTO should cleanup the pasted HTML by itself

So I installed it on my test drive. It seems to pass some styles per default:

I made an experiment in Chrome:

1. create a simple paragraph
2. do cut & paste
3. paste from word
4. paste from other.

The raw HTML looks like this. You can see that direct paste adds a lot of styles. Add "from word" and "add from other" yields the same result. I added a style named "foo" to the configuration of "paste from other", just to ensure that no hidden default (e.g. the one from word) is applied. But color and font size are always pasted.

Simple paragraph with bold .

-------------------- direct paste

Simple paragraph with bold .

-------------------- paste from other

Simple paragraph with bold .

--------------------- paste from word

Simple paragraph with bold .

-----------------------------------------------------------------

I still find ATTO being indeed simpler to use than TinyMce but, the generated HTML is still not optimal (not to say a nightmare). You can see that the paste

I see that the comment function interprets the HTML: so I try again (sorry for polluting this here).

Hi Joseph,

We've been using this plugin and it's great!

We've tried the 'Set as default' option and realized it is quite aggressive (many people are used to paste with 'Ctrl+V' and complained because they want it to do just that), but a user came with another option that I'd like to see in this plugin: the option to trigger Paste Special when the user types 'Ctrl+Shift+V', as this is the special paste command used in other software. This could added as another option to the actual 'Set as default' setting: Disabled, Set as default Ctrl+V, Set as default Ctrl+Shift+V (new).

Iñigo,

Thank you for your suggestion! The latest version, 2016031100, does have the "set as default" setting changed to a single select that has the options of "none", "ctrl+v", and "ctrl+shift+v". Let me know if this is different from what you'd like, or if you'd be interested in having any more improvements to this plugin.

Hi Joseph,

It does just what I expected. I think the most reasonable default value is "Ctrl+Shift+V" as you decided so it couldn't be better

Great work Joseph!

Any upgrade to Moodle 3.2?
