Thanks for reporting this. We should implement the ability to paste and match style, as users may want to preserve the formatting of the copied text as well.

Yes please! I’m kicking the tires on the Mac desktop app and I was surprised Paste And Match Style didn’t work. In my last note-taking app I would PAMS plain text from Google Docs or wherever into red text and it would paste in as red as I needed. I can’t seem to do that here.
