Paste Edge url as markdown/Markdown Editor

Support
1

Operating system

Windows

Joplin version

3.5.5

What issue do you have?

Upgraded to 3.5.x to use the note pop-out function, only to realized Paste Edge url as Markdown no longer works (keyboard shortcut). Markdown Editor disappears too.

Is there something I did wrong?

What is this? is that a plugin?

Paste Edge url as Markdown using keyboard shortcut.

Yes there is a plugin. It used to work (possibly in 3.1.x). But stopped working.

There is even a toolbar menu "Tools/Paste Edge URL as Markdown Link" with its own keyboard shortcut "Ctrl+Shift+V" designation in the nee version. The menu click works, but keyboard shortcut doesn’t.

There's an Edit => Paste as Markdown command. Does this work?

In edge, do you have Appearance > Browser behavior and features > URL formatting set to "Link"?

If so, when you copy a URL in edge, it populates the clipboard with both the plain URL (text/plain) and the formatted URL with title (text/html)

Joplin 3.6 (still a pre-release currently) added a generic "Paste as Markdown" menu item/shortcut in the markdown editor- I tested it here and this will paste the edge URL as a link (as long as you have edge configured to copy formatted links with the above setting)

EDIT: Assuming you're referring to this plugin (GitHub - jerrylususu/joplin-edgelinkmd: (Joplin Plugin) When pasting URL copied from Microsoft Edge address bar, automatically convert it to a Markdown link. · GitHub), I tested this as well and pasting edge URLs works with the plugin's default ctrl + shift + v shortcut here, but I'm on version 3.6

It does. As does "Tools/Paste Edge URL as Markdown Link". But they are menus/commands. What doesn’t work is from the keyboard."Ctrl+Shift+V" or "Ctrl+Alt+V".

Let me check it out. Back later.

Here is a recap.

There is/was a plugin, called "Edge URL to Markdown Link v1.0.0". It is it that created the menu/command "Tools/Paste Edge URL as Markdown Link" and keyboard shortcut association "Ctrl+Shift+V". It had worked @laurent. It even worked with "Ctrl+V" form the keyboard. From Options/Keyboard Shortcuts, you can see the mapping. There is also a distinct "Options/Edge Link MD".

Then it stopped working after the upgrade.

When @bwat47 mentioned another plugin, I wasn't quite sure (not a tech person). After some digging, I realized it is the same plugin ("me.nekonull.edgelinkmd"). The problem here is that it works for him in 3.6. I use 3.6.4 (also tried 3.5.5) and it doesn't work for me.

Decided to downgrade back to my previous 2.13.15. Thanks for chiming in.
