FWIW, when pasting to Tinderbox I always try to remember to use Paste-and-Match-Style (Cmd+Opt+Shift+V) which strips the source formatting. There are times I wish I could set that as the default paste method, given that muscle memory makes me use Cmd+V and then I have to undo and re-do the style-less paste.
Unless the app tracked where every text paste or drop came from, it’s hard for it to know which of the two reasons for differing fonts that you cite is the case. IOW, deliberate difference or not, as you last post implies you want one form of difference to survive a font change but not the other.
Now the app has a fuller featured RTF writing space which some users lobbied for and use, the picture is more complex. Does resetting the font change the font colour? Remove highlighting? What about specialist notes like templates and code notes where a monospace font is important? So, I’ve come to see a ‘global’ font reset is more complex than imagined when I first started lobbying for it. The doc setting based solution described above is an initial start down this path even if not what you’d like.
For the manual approach the sequence is:
- Select note
- Click in $Text area to set focus
- Cmd+A to select all text
- Format -> Style -> Standard Font (Cmd+Opt+Ctrl+T)
- Format -> Style -> Reset Margins (sadly no shortcut)
- Select next note, etc.
When doing a lot of notes, I’ve got quite fast at this taking care to take a pause every so often to let the wrists relaxed. I’m not suggesting this is at all ideal, merely what is actually possible.
