Copy pasting image directly from clipboard to markdown file
See original GitHub issueDescribe your feature request
Is it possible to directly copy-paste image from clipboard to markdown file using MarkText? Is this already implemented?
Steps:
- Copy image to clipboard (using Ctrl+C, Windows’ Snipping Tool/Screenshot, or Mac’s Cmd+Shift+4)
- Go to a markdown file in MarkText
- Ctrl+V
- File is automatically uploaded or stored in an asset directory (relative to the markdown file or in a dedicated directory for MarkText)
- Link is automatically pasted to markdown file:

What problem does this feature solve? [optional]
I often add screenshot of math formula, illustration, etc. to my note and it’s a pain to manually upload things every time I add them. This is the only thing that ties me to Evernote…
Additional context [optional]
I’m a mid-level javascript developer. I’d be happy to contribute for this feature if the maintainers are busy doing other things. If any maintainer can point me to the right files/resources, it’d be really helpful.
Thanks
