Description

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.

first of all thank you for this extremely useful app! i use it on a daily basis.
and most of the time i use it to create lists.
and lets take, for example, groceries. i oftenly change the order of items, and may be its just my experience, but i can not get, why making text bold or itallic in such a simple and straightforward text app is more important, rather than copying and pasting.
if i enter rich editing mode and i select text, copy, cut and paste are the first two in line.
so i'd like to ask you to consider making same in the plain editing mode.

p.s. i also wanted to create another request with disabling swiping feature (i once dropped my phone while accidently swiping and couldn't get in time to undo deletion), but from i've seen from numerous posts on this tracker, you are not going to, which is sad.

Describe the solution you'd like

in default editing mode, copy, cut and paste options are the first in the formatting menu.

Research direction

Start by locating the default editing mode's formatting menu and compare its item order with the rich editing mode, where copy, cut, and paste are already first. Done means copy, cut, and paste appear first in the formatting menu for default editing mode; verify the menu behavior in the Android app.
