ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
Typically the way general purpose WYSIWYG editors handle this is to paste the
formatted text by default, but offer a "paste as plain text" option invoked
with Ctrl+Shift+V.
However NeoChat is not a WYSIWYG editor, it's a chat app with optional rich
text features. There is almost no case when I copy formatted text with the
intention of pasting it into NeoChat where I want the formatting kept.
