# Description

> Tested on Sublime Text 2 and Sublime Text 3.

Clipboard functionality to copy a block of text from PDF and paste it with the new lines and hyphenated words stripped so that it is a clean paste of a block of text into the target area.

Given that we do a lot of work between PDFs and Markdown in drafting of documents, it seemed necessary to work on the paste functionality a bit.

# Using

## Base Paste PDF Text Block

The default keybinding is CTRL+ALT+V in Linux and Windows, CTRL+Super+V on OsX. To assign a new keybinding:

* Open ".../Packages/User/Default.sublime-keymap"
* The relevant command name is "paste_pdf"

```
  { "keys": ["ctrl+alt+v"], "command": "paste_pdf" }
```

The function will also correct French accents thanks to the kind help of [Gery Casiez](https://github.com/casiez) and Spanish accents thanks to [Ome Gak](https://github.com/OmeGak).

## Paste PDF Text Block with Pandoc Footnote

One thing I often do is paste a text block but then need to mark it for citation. There is a new command that will take care of that for you, called `paste_pdf_pandoc`. This command will preformat the text block using the clean_paste function, wrap the entire block in double quotes, add Pandoc's `^[]` footnote formatting, and place the cursor so you can instantly put in the BibTex reference or citation holder. The default keybinding for this is CTRL+ALT+SHIFT+V in Linux & Windows, and CTRL+SHIFT+Super+v in OsX.
