[FR] Smart Cut and Paste Feature like in Microsoft Word #2015

Open HectorB-2020 opened 1 year ago

This issue is unique.

Your idea.

Can you please consider adding a few handy features which exist in Microsoft Word and known as "Smart Cut and Paste".

As a bare minimum I'm asking for this: Adjust Sentence and Word Spacing Automatically: MS Word adjusts spaces between words after a paste. Removes extra spaces when deleting text or adds spaces when pasting text from the clipboard. This will significantly improve productivity of OnlyOffice Document editor. :+1:

Hello! @HectorB-2020, The "Language Tool" plugin is available in our editor, which corrects your spelling, grammar, and punctuation. The plugin can remove double spaces and insert missing spaces, as well as much more. Can you use the "Language Tool" plugin for your tasks?

I'm afraid this plug-in is a poor imitation of what Smart Cut and Paste feature does in MS Word. Smart Cut and Paste feature in MS Word corrects as you type or paste, no need to select text and launch any plug-ins intentionally. This is all about productivity, this feature allows you to focus on document content rather than inventing ways on how to make this text look normal.

BTW, here is another obstacle which distracts me from writing the text and make me fight the editor instead itself https://github.com/ONLYOFFICE/DocumentServer/issues/1869
