Better handling of paste for URLs

We all love clever tools, right? Little tricks that make our lives easier.

Of course the opposite is true. When a feature is trying to be clever but isn’t it can be infuriating. So goes the handling of pasting URLs.

Miro behaviour:

  1. I copy a URL from my clipboard - in this instance I was marking up a deeplink in Miro
  2. I paste it into a text box - so far so good, it pastes the text I selected and turns it into a clickable link.
  3. I duplicate the text box to copy another URL. 
  4. This time when I paste the URL it doesn’t update the text, but it does silently replace the clickable link.
  5. I spend 5 minutes confused about why two supposedly different URLs have the same content.

My desired behaviour

  • Treat URLs pasted into boxes like they’re text. Seriously, it’s not super complex.
  • OR
  • Provide some sort of messaging for what you’re doing - maybe a little toast perhaps?

Thanks
