   What's the rationale for the shift from Ctrl+k to Ctrl+v for adding a hyperlink to text?

   I find it confusing because I expect different behavior from Ctrl+v (replace with clipboard contents).

     @ntnsndr is this a mastodon thing? I don't see either of these shortcuts in the list - https://social.coop/keyboard-shortcuts

     @ntnsndr aha, I didn't know they're changing that, I have a work tool that doesn't use ctrl+k and I kind of cuss everytime I need it 😅

     @ntnsndr so far I have only seen this done in slack and it seems wrong. What if you intended to overwrite the selected text with the contents of your clipboard instead?

     @Eliot_L it is also used in @matrix and I think Notion. Seems more common now than Ctrl+k, which I only now encounter in dinosaurs like Google Docs and @thunderbird
