N.b. this was created per the developer's request at https://invent.kde.org/utilities/okteta/-/merge_requests/19

I have used Okteta to, for instance, write little synthetic HTTP requests to test a program. For headers, it can be convenient to copy and paste them from references on the Web, but when I do this in Okteta it includes the HTML formatting from the page. For instance if I copy (what appears to my human eyes as) "Accept-Encoding: deflate, gzip;q=1.0, *;q=0.5" from https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/HTTP/Headers/Accept-Encoding , and paste it into Okteta, I instead get pasted in Okteta:

<meta http-equiv="content-type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8"><pre class="brush: http notranslate" data-signature="F3kb6sFqFVY+FfwSVKQyyDwYdjRNT74vno0W0W7N5NE="><code><span class="token header"><span class="token header-name keyword">Accept-Encoding</span><span class="token punctuation">:</span> <span class="token header-value">deflate, gzip;q=1.0, *;q=0.5</span></span></code></pre>

which necessitates the use of a text editor as an intermediary.

I don't have much of a preference for how this would be handled to bypass this extra step, and to allow explicit selection of formats. Either a mandatory "paste as" (like, I believe, Libreoffice has) dialog upon ctrl-v, or alternatives in the edit menu, or something else would work for me.
