Add "Clear and paste" button (or change paste to clear by default) #562

Closed soumya92 closed 2 years ago

What's the Problem?

Common workflow when using something like number base converter is to try several values in succession. When pressing "paste", the clipboard contents are added next to existing contents, causing issues. Extra work is necessary to first clear the text box and then paste.

Solution/Idea

Add a button to "clear and paste", or change paste button to clear text box by default

Alternatives

Add a setting for "paste clears text box first"

Hi, is this something that needs fixing? I would like try it, if that's possible, and needed of course.

Hello,

Thanks for this suggestion. I like better the alternative idea you suggested: Add a setting for "paste clears text box first". I think I can do that. :)
