Description
Describe the solution you'd like
When pasting in a list (ordered or unordered) into Markdown mode, it should paste in the list items with - or [number]. at the beginning of each line, recreating the list structure. With nesting
Describe alternatives you've considered
Currently it pastes in as one list item per line. So then you have to go and add all of the list item and nesting formatting manually.
