There is also the autoformat feature

The reason is there are plenty of better alternatives. Way better. Please try
it first, I bet you save more time than with any UI hack.



Point why I hesitate to agree with your proposal is, if we introduce a new
function it should add benefit for many users. For example, "Paste Format"
could be mistaken as "Paste Formatted". It also takes space meaning you cannot
glace over a few paste options but have to read all - of course not a result of
one function but it adds up. Not to speak about maintenance at the code.
