Jason, thanks for sharing Hypernomicon. I’ve started to use it to organize my thoughts on a project I’m working on and it seems really promising. I’m using the Terms function to track multiple authors’ definitions of a given concept and notice that when I copy text from a .pdf or .docx file it preserves some of the original formatting, creating a unslightly and (for me) distracting mishmash of styles. I know I can manually set the font and size but a remove formatting button would be helpful—ideally it would keep the bold and italics while reverting the text to the default style.
This is, of course, a minor request that might also be a pain to implement. Please feel free to disregard. In any case, thank you again for the good work you’ve done on this database software.

Hi Josh, if you right-click/secondary-click on the editing area (see attached screenshot), there will be options for "paste plain text" and "paste plain text without line breaks". The second option is especially useful if pasting from a PDF.
