Moodle plugins directory: Paste special

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

<p>paragraph="" with=""

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?

Hi Joseph,

Any chance that we might be seeing a version of Paste Special that is compatible with newer releases of Moodle (3.1 to 3.4) in the near future or have you abandoned the project? I could really use this functionality in Moodle 3.4.

Best regards,

Michael

Any upgrade to MOODLE 3.4 ?

Is this plugin discontinued?

Hi Joseph,

Hope to see a version of Paste Special for Moodle 3.5 in the near future.

Best regards,

Michael

Hi Joseph,

Your plugin is highly appreciated. Any chance for a newer version

Please, can you add moodle auto-updater to this plugin? We update moodle every week and have to find the plugin when the others all do it automatically. It would save so much time, thank you.

This is a great Moodle plugin, that I use on my site on Venice.

Hello, can you tell us if the plugin will support version 3.6 of Moodle in a near future ?

It seems nothing has evolved on this plugin since more than 3 years, and several people are waiting for a maintained version, compatible with latest Moodle versions.
It should certainly be considered as to be adopted : https://docs.moodle.org/dev/Plugins_adoption_programme
If someone wants to work on it, don't hesitate to do the necessary.

If this was being maintained, I'd feature request a mode that gives the user no options and just strips all formatting. That is, "Paste as Plain Text" as per MS Office and TinyMCE.
