Really interested in the Rust bros and pure functional bros' thoughts on this to help me refine my own opinions on it.

This might be yelling into the void more than a bit: why does every program now try to demand that they have a pop-up context-stealing menu when I copy & paste?

The attached image is in Firefox using MS Outlook and Google Docs. When I copy & paste between the two I have two options:

  1. Normal Ctrl-v - which will keep all formatting and fuck everything up because every copy & paste defaults to HTML/Markdown styles and it's just some text from one document to another.

  2. Shift Ctrl-v - which historically stripped the HTML/Markdown formatting and just pasted the ASCII/UTF-16 characters (what I almost always want). But over the last year and some, every tool has started adding some kind of context menu with the paste. I don't know which program or website/app/js/plugin/control each one belongs to. The worst part: they're context switching! So, if I paste with shift-ctrl-v it pastes the plain text and then locks out my keyboard.

If the act of copy-paste is now a multi-key combo followed by esc and/or mouse and/or a timeout it's basically a horrible workflow UI. WTF is up with everyone? Why can't we leave the copy-paste system to be taking characters from one location to another? I'm so very tired of trying to turn off yet more "help" that I never asked for. What's the motivation here for the developers?
