Pasting in the Rich Text Editor

Internal distinction between text and images exists with data copied into the clipboard. Although the actual outcome of the copy/paste operation depends partially on the application from which data has been copied, the following use of paste in the rich text editor yields consistent results:

  • If only text information is being pasted - use standard shortcuts CTRL+V or SHIFT+INS.
  • If only image content is being pasted - several keyboard shortcuts can be used: CTRL+V, SHIFT+INS, CTRL+SHIFT+V or CTRL+SHIFT+INS, or the 'Paste picture' button in the rich text editor toolbar. Note that images can only be pasted one-by-one.
  • If the pasted content consists of both text and images:
    1. Use CTRL+V or SHIFT+INS to paste the text. In the text, images are replaced by text 'Image removed, please use "Paste picture" instead'.
    2. Paste individual images using the shortcuts for image-only content pasting. Note that using CTRL+V or SHIFT+INS with mixed content will result in text with 'Image removed...' messages - be careful not to selects any text with the image when aiming for image-only pasting or make it a habit to always use CTRL+SHIFT+V, CTRL+SHIFT+INS or the 'Paste picture' button whenever images are pasted.
