2015-08-05 15:02:41 James Mulholland description We should add paste support on both the phone and on the desktop. The primary question is how invalid input should be handled. The first suggestion would be not to insert anything if there is any issue in the pasted text, while the second one seems more reasonable to me. In my opinion we should paste as much as possible and leave out the invalid parts (the user might not even know about spaces or other invalid characters in their string). Either way, we might want some visual feedback when the clipboard content had some invalid parts. We should add paste support on both the phone and on the desktop.

As such, filtering the user's input seems the optimal course (and allows us to avoid a raft of edge cases that do not result in anything other than error states).
