What's the rationale for the shift from Ctrl+k to Ctrl+v for adding a hyperlink to text?
I find it confusing because I expect different behavior from Ctrl+v (replace with clipboard contents).
@ntnsndr is this a mastodon thing? I don't see either of these shortcuts in the list - https://social.coop/keyboard-shortcuts
@ammaratef45 No I mean on other platforms like Slack
@ntnsndr aha, I didn't know they're changing that, I have a work tool that doesn't use ctrl+k and I kind of cuss everytime I need it 
@ntnsndr so far I have only seen this done in slack and it seems wrong. What if you intended to overwrite the selected text with the contents of your clipboard instead?
@Eliot_L it is also used in @matrix and I think Notion. Seems more common now than Ctrl+k, which I only now encounter in dinosaurs like Google Docs and @thunderbird
@ntnsndr @Eliot_L @thunderbird rationale seems to be "ctrl+k = fast switcher; ctrl+v = paste. but if you paste a URL over something, turn it into a hyperlink"
@thunderbird @Eliot_L @matrix Indeed you are a beautiful dinosaur that flies me through every day:)
@ntnsndr I like it, in obsidian - as long as it only happens when you copied a hyperlink. Probably because I’m hyperlinking things so much, it saves a step or two
