When I paste links, they automatically get markedown linked, as if I had pressed ctrl+k. This is definitely some weird user error situation, as other people in my organisation do not have the issue. But they use Chrome and I use Microsoft Edge. If I login via Chrome it does not do this.
Anyone got an idea as to what setting could be causing this? All my google fu returns nothing.
There is a “feature” in edge, which is enabled by default.
Thanks. You’ve spurred me into action to turn that off. I find I’m always editing them out!!
That is braindead solution from MS. Every app and other solution has its own method sniff out links and change it to <a href>. Even Youtube, Instagram, Tiktok, Facebook… every social media platform can it and for that use such helpful feature has been done — and totally without need.
(OT: even I’m not ninja, guru or dev I’m part of old school. That means I have tendency use <grin> but on Discourse it just doesn’t work because the code is expecting a tag — as it should, I know. But it is really annoying 
)
Will shift - control-v paste just the url?
No, it does all the shenanigans if you don’t defeat the option.
(oh SHIFT control V … I’ll check)
Good workaround @pfaffman SHIFT-CTRL-V does work with the setting left ON
