Hi Fletcher, it is ok that a new line of list is automatically formatted with a list marker, but usually I find a trouble when I paste a line already starting with a list marker, so the result is a couple of list marker at the beginning and I've to delete one of them. For example:
- item 1
-- item 2 (because I've pasted "- item 2")
Can you code that a pasted list marker substitutes the previous list marker?
Thanks

    That's probably getting too much into trying to predict what a user is
    thinking, which is tough to do correctly. My general preference is to
    assume that the user knows what they are doing and to do it. ;)

    If you hit enter again, the existing list marker disappears, and you can
    paste whatever you like:

    - item 1 (enter)
    - |

    hit enter again:

    - item 1
    |

    paste:

    - item 1
    - item 2 (pasted)

    (Also, if you end up pasting different list markers, the list clean up
    commands can fix things for you. But you probably knew that already. :)

    Sure, I'm using MMComposer 4 since it was a beta :)
