--- Comment #3 from Lastique <andysem at mail.ru> ---
Kmail 5.1.3 in Kubuntu 16.04 behaves differently than the one I reported the
problem against. But the problem still persists.

The original problem was that pasting links from Chrome in the composer would
invoke a menu and there was no way around it (the keyboard shortcut did not
avoid the menu).

Currently, the menu does not appear whether you do a regular paste or paste
without formatting. However, you can see that the shortcut still cannot be
reassigned. Here's the updated repro:

1. Open kmail composer (e.g. by creating a new mail). Go to Settings->Configure
shortcuts.
2. Select "Paste Without Formatting" primary or alternate shortcut and change
it to Shift+Ins. Confirm if it asks whether it should reassign the shortcut
from "Paste".
3. Open Chrome or Chromium and open any web page. Copy the URL in the address
bar (Ctrl+Ins). Note: the browser is essential, won't work with Firefox.
4. Go back to the email composer.
5. Ensure you have Rich Text editing mode enabled.
6. Paste the URL into the message body by pressing Shift+Ins. Also try pasting
by selecting Edit->Paste and Edit->Paste Without Formatting in the menu for
comparison.

What you will see that Paste puts the URL formatted as an URL (e.g. blue
underlined) and Paste Without Formatting puts it as plain text. Shift+Ins,
despite being reassigned, acts equivalently to Paste.
