Plain text editor

Why does this forum not have a plain text mode for the editor? I can't, for example, copy and paste around quotes inside my replies because it's rich text only, and that's a colossal pain sometimes.

Yeah, I hear you!

I habitually have to copy my messages back and forth to Notepad to strip out the invisible code that's polluting my text.  It's a pain, for sure.

You can paste plaintext using Ctrl + Shift + V or by Ctrl + Right Clicking and clicking "Paste without formatting" 🙂

When you you paste, bottom of text box

Is the option to paste as rich text or plain text.  You can strip out any format with the plain text.

Sure, I can paste in plain text - but I can't view what is already in the message in plain text. So, for example, I can't copy and paste the quote box with your reply to me into another message - which is the sort of thing that can be very useful when editing a post, where you want to respond to something that was posted while you were putting together your post, or just when you don't want to have to fight with the stupid drag and drop rich-text box for quotes, or when you want to add something before a quote box, etc.
