Description

**Description:**
Currently, pasting Markdown text is treated as plain text, requiring manual formatting for headings, lists, and other elements.

**Feature Request:**
Automatically convert pasted Markdown into formatted content (e.g., `# Heading` → Heading, `- List` → List) to improve workflow and save time.

This would make pasting from Markdown editors much smoother. Hope to see this added! 🚀
