Summary

Converts selected text to a markdown link when pasting URLs.

This was requested on the forum (and I believe previously requested elsewhere).

Notes

This may make more sense as a plugin:

• As pointed out here, the comments on an article introducing a similar feature are mostly negative.
• The CodeMirror 6 beta editor is very new and there are currently no example plugins for it.

Testing

1. Create a new note with the text test
2. Copy a http or https URL
3. Select test and paste
4. Undo
5. Repeat steps 1-4 for a resource URL
6. Repeat steps 1-4 for text that is not a URL

This has been manually tested in the desktop beta editor.

I'm closing this for now. This makes more sense as a plugin, particularly given that the beta editor doesn't have any sample plugins that use the CodeMirror 6 API.
