[R-SIG-Mac] Pasting Code in Editor has Wrong Colors

[Brandon Hurr]

Simon,

Thanks for the shortcut keys. I'll definitely use them.

As for your question about where it's coming from, mostly Chrome via
ggplot2/manipulatr mailing lists, and stackoverflow. As you say it will
retain the fonts and sizes and everything. I had tried CMD + Shift + V as
it is in gmail and it didn't work.

Coming from a naive standpoint, I'm unsure why pasting as plain text isn't
the default here. Is it inherited from OSX, and you have no choice?

I've thought about it a few times and I can't imagine why having decorated
text is useful in R-GUI at all but particularly the editor window. It
overrides colors, fonts, font sizes, until you save and reopen. Then
everything is like if you had pasted as plain text.

Thanks,
Brandon
