           Summary: Simplification of multi-line paste warning dialog
           Product: konversation
           Version: 1.0.1
          Platform: unspecified
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: wishlist
          Priority: NOR
         Component: general
        AssignedTo: konversation-devel kde org
        ReportedBy: maarten treewalker org


Version:           1.0.1 (using KDE 3.5.6 "release 31.2" , openSUSE )
Compiler:          Target: i586-suse-linux
OS:                Linux (i686) release 2.6.18.2-34-default

When multi-line text is pasted into the line edit box at the bottom of the screen, Konversation pops up a dialog with the options Paste, Edit and Cancel. I noticed that I always select Edit in this dialog, because I want to see the clipboard content before I make a decision whether or not the paste it.

So I propose to skip the initial Paste/Edit/Cancel dialog and go immediately to the Edit dialog. This still offers the same choices to the user:
- Paste: click OK without editing the text
- Edit: edit the text and then click OK
- Cancel: click Cancel

However, skipping the initial dialog has some advantages:
- the user will see what will be pasted, so he can make an informed decision
- for the Edit scenario, there is one less click, while for the Paste and Cancel scenarios the number of clicks stays the same
