In my notes, I oftens have to paste URLs. However, Bear is formating them as markdown, and including the name of the url often.

Is there a way to disable this, so when I paste a URL, it just pastes the actual url? and not markdown with a label?

I would be ok if it was markdown with the URL as a label, but would prefer just being able to paste as text.
