Description

I quite love that I can paste an image from my clipboard into the visual editor and it saves the image into ./images. But I cannot do this using the source editor. I would reallyyyy like to! Mostly because I do not like how the visual editor edits my file and adds additional spaces between lines.

Start by reading the source editor's image-paste handling and comparing it with the existing visual-editor behavior described in the issue and linked discussion. Done means a clipboard image pasted into the source editor is saved under ./images and inserted without requiring the visual editor.
