Which one should keep the shortcut?

[johnchristopher]

ctrl-shift-v is standard pasting keyboard shortcut in Linux systems (X-Windows paste buffer). It's also pasting without formatting in Google Chrome.

I say ctrl-shift-v in Signal should keep to pasting.

Weirdly enough I only found out about it today on debian (upgraded yesterday) and it pissed me off that a standard pasting shortcut was hijacked. How do I paste stuff from the x-window buffer into Signal now ?

Hey, this still hasn't been addressed. Could it be fixed soon please? Not needing to manually reformat pasted text would be great.

Also, ability to just customize shortcut bindings would be nice.

Edit: Uh, huh. Double checking, there IS no hotkey in the list for pasting with formatting. And even the right click menu version doesn't work.
