Often I mark some text, such a phone number, from a web page, and paste it into a text field on a form. This works, but very often the text has a bunch of leading- and trailing spaces. I guess this is remains from original HTML code on the clipboard. However, it would be nice if we could get those spaces removed.
Even enhance the idea further. The "when pasting into rich text"- idea here http://ideajam.net/IdeaJam/P/ij.nsf/0/CBA0C3E09D74F407862573EC0050E141?OpenDocument, is related. And as I suggest in one of the comments, we would like to have some programmatic control over what clipboard format a certain field needs. For example could my PhoneNo-field always prefer "Stripped Plain Text", while my rich text field would prefer "HTML". Hey, we could even allow a formula to access the clipboard content on it's way in.

it also takes too long to paste text copied from HTML

I'm not going to vote, because I don't want to promote or demote the idea.
I often paste text where I want the leading or trailing blanks, so I think it should be a preference, like a SmartText option, I either want it on or off, nto force me to use it in a way I might not intend.

I think, it's the application author's responsibility to trim spaces on such fields.

He he, I thought I mentioned "programmatic control" in the original post? This could of course be placed in the field properties at design time. However, does this differ much from the type of programatic control for example selective replication formulas have? Me think not. That said, I would still love to get those extra spaces removed ...
