When a text field has focus, editor shortcuts are generally unavailable so that text entry remains predictable.

Paste is available in Plan mode. After copying notes, choose Paste to enter a placement preview; click to commit it or right-click to cancel. All commands can be reassigned in Settings → Keybinds.
