Cut-and-pasting _should_ be painful, so you will be encouraged to write factored code instead. :)
I do write factored code. I just don't like typing it all out by hand.
But wait! If you're using Shout, how will you stop the method from being styled as soon as you type the next character?
And, if you're not using Shout then "cut" will be cutting plain text anyway..
So, unless I'm missing something, this preference seems so useless its crazy.
Yeah, this preference isn't quite right for my purposes. The behaviour I want is that Shout does syntax highlighting for me, but the text is otherwise treated as unstyled. If I cut it, the clipboard has unstyled text, if I paste styled text, the styles are ignored and Shout restyles it according to syntax. Unstyled text gets stored in the changes file and Monticello.
The problem I have now is that if I cut Shout-styled text and paste it into a browser, I get a dialog asking me if I want styled text. The answer is always no, so I'd rather not be asked about it every time.
