paste with formatting removed? #11

Open wjcarpenter opened 7 years ago

wjcarpenter commented 7 years ago

I use Ubuntu's packaged version of parcellite. Right now, on Ubuntu 16.04, it's parcellite 1.1.9. Previously, I was on Ubuntu 12.04, which they say had parcellite 1.0.2~rc5.

The main reason I used it was the feature of pasting things without formatting. ... just plain text. I have not been able to figure out how to do that in parcellite 1.1.9. Was I previously using something that was a bug that got fixed, or was that feature removed at some point.

Parcellite doesn't massage text, but I did add UTF-8 handling. It depends on how you are running parcellite. If you don't have the clipboard turned on, then parcellite will do nothing with it. It should also only be handling text, though I have added groundwork to allow other things besides text - I haven't done anything with it because there's nobody needing it.

I think I can add an option to turn off UTF-8 handling, and delete anything that isn't part of the 128 characters, but it won't work with internationalization things. But if it is an option, it's up to the user.
