Mindpilot: Auto-Paste New Document Feature Request

Hey guys! Ever found yourself jumping through hoops just to paste content into a new document? I know the feeling! That’s why I’m super stoked to dive into a game-changing feature request for Mindpilot: clipboard auto-paste! This simple yet powerful addition could seriously speed up your workflow and make creating new documents a breeze. Let's explore why this feature is a must-have and how it could work its magic.

The Pain Point: A Tedious Multi-Step Process

Currently, the process of creating a new document and pasting content involves multiple steps. Let's talk about the current workflow frustrations users face. Imagine this common scenario: You've just copied some awesome mermaid code from ChatGPT, Claude, or some handy documentation. You fire up Mindpilot, create a new document, click into the editor, and finally paste the content. Six steps! That might not sound like much, but these small actions add up, especially if you’re doing it multiple times a day. We're all about efficiency, right? This is where the idea of a one-action solution comes in – a simple way to create a new document with the clipboard content automatically pasted. This isn't just about saving clicks; it's about keeping your flow state intact, reducing distractions, and making the whole creative process smoother and more enjoyable.

Who Benefits from This Feature?

This proposed clipboard auto-paste functionality isn't just a nice-to-have; it’s a huge time-saver for a wide range of users. Think about it: how often do you find yourself copying diagrams from AI assistants or grabbing examples from online documentation? We're constantly moving diagrams between tools and starting from templates found online. All these scenarios involve copying and pasting, making this feature universally beneficial. Whether you're a seasoned Mindpilot pro or just starting out, streamlining this process can significantly reduce the friction in your workflow. By automating the initial steps of document creation, you can jump straight into the heart of your work – visualizing ideas, creating diagrams, and bringing your projects to life. This feature is all about removing those minor annoyances that can disrupt your focus and slow you down.

The Solution: One-Action Magic

So, how do we make this happen? The core idea is to condense those multiple steps into a single, seamless action. The proposed implementation includes several intuitive options to trigger the clipboard auto-paste function. First up, a dedicated keyboard shortcut: Ctrl+Shift+V (or Cmd+Shift+V on Mac). This is a familiar shortcut pattern for power users who love keyboard shortcuts. But we're not stopping there! An alternative option is the 'n' key, which, when not in an input field, would act as a shortcut for
