--- Comment #4 from Evan Teran <ete...@alum.rit.edu> --- This particular feature has always been a bit of a sticking point because it makes complete sense if you expect it, and is nothing but confusing if you don't expect it. I like S. Umar's logic in that "pasting should have the same effect as typing", except that model doesn't fit pasting hex values such as 0x1234. Really, probably the ideal solution is to add a new set of options to manage this, I can imagine at least two: 1. "Use C conventions while pasting numbers with prefixes that indicate the base" (we can work on the wording :-P). Basically, just let the user shut this feature off, but default to on to maintain current behavior. 2. "Switch modes to match the base of pasted numbers", basically we can have it switch to hex if they paste "0x1234" automatically, which would be less confusing if expected as it would show the number they actually pasted. However, it could be VERY confusing if the user pastes 010, and expects to get 10 instead of 2... If this were to exist, it should of course default to off by default. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching all bug changes.
