I really wish #Zotero, and several other programs will just let me type in #markdown, and not automatically format the text. I do not want the particular changes in font and color with auto-formating that these programs provide, and I am really happy with plaintext and unadorned markdown. To make matters worse, when I copy these formatted text elsewhere, the original markdown is completely stripped.

Not the source formatting, and paste is one of the most important functionalities in modern word processing. I wish they would provide at least some option to change these short cuts #microsoft #msword #macos #userhostile
