UNITADE.md [BUG]: Double pasting in regular files with unitade enabled

Contact details

What the essence of the bug

I am unsure how to replicate this bug. My apologies.

Grouped extensions set to the following: markdown: data> logs> csv> txt; codeview: conf>> config> reg> py> json> yaml> yml> env> js> css>;

With the "force vanilla paste" addition, it seems to have introduced an odd case of double pasting in the regular editor (not code view). This occurs regardless of what force vanilla paste is set to. After a period of time with the extension enabled, the paste command will occur multiple times when attempting to paste using ctrl + v (not ctrl + shift v). This only happens in the regular editor, not code view.

I have a decently large amount of plugins enabled, so perhaps this may be due to a conflict between this extension and another? Complete shot in the dark. After a while of using it normally with my regular set of plugins, even disabling other extensions will not resolve the paste issue. The only way to have the bug "reset" is to disable and enable unitade. This works for a while.

Can you please send list of the plugins when error occurs?

[!Note] You can do this by opening vault's settings and: "→ Options → General → Advanced → Notify if startup takes longer than expected → (timer icon)", with "copy to clipboard" to copy entire setup information.

Yeah, for some reason I can not copy and paste into a .txt file. I can edit the .txt file tho.

Yeah, for some reason I can not copy and paste into a .txt file. I can edit the .txt file tho.

Have you enabled the "force vanilla paste" setting? Have you tried Ctrl+Shift+V? If so, please send your setup info and application logs.

Awesome, yes it worked after enabling the "force vanilla paste"! Thanks very much!

Glad to help! This plugin contains a lot of features like this, if you are interested in any behavior\feature more thoroughly, recommended to read the wiki of this plugin: https://github.com/Falcion/UNITADE.md/wiki/

Tried to reproduce the bug with the same setup, no issues like this occured, tested on old installer and new installer, no errors, I have this propositions:

you can send me your Vault (without any personal files, just .obsidian and other system/config related files of your Vault);
if this error occurs another time, open the Developer console (Ctrl+Shift+V) and try to check any related errors (spoilers: toUrl() error of UNITADE is not related to this);
try to test different versions of Obsidian/Obsidian's installer if applicable; maybe use "halving" method by disabling half of the plugin every time issue persist;

Testing would continue, so issue won't be closed, but more info/bug-reports would be appreciated.

Where would you like me to upload my .obsidian folder for you?

I looked in console after it started happening again and it seems like it could be related to the linter plugin modifying paste a bit. Temporarily disabled linter and it seemed to fix it. Unsure why this did not fix it before. I will attempt to disable parts of either plugin, as you said, as soon as the behavior begins again.

Here is my config in linter:

Where would you like me to upload my .obsidian folder for you? I looked in console after it started happening again and it seems like it could be related to the linter > plugin modifying paste a bit. Temporarily disabled linter and it seemed to fix it. Unsure why this did not fix it before. I will attempt to disable parts of either plugin, as you said, as soon as the behavior begins again.

Here is my config in linter:

Thanks for sharing your observations: you can upload your .obsidian in any way you want. I have been using these ways since:

Convert it to ZIP (if resulting archive is too big, try to more advanced compress algorithm in 7-zip, for example) and just "drop" in the message;
Create GitHub repository and publish your config folder for Obsidian;
Use any mirrors and sharing services.

Greetings, sorry for the long wait—, here is a dev build of the plugin with "possible" solutions to the problems; I am sending it to you to try to check whether the problems have been solved, because I have not been able to repeat them myself yet.

Link to install ZIP with dev-build of plugin: dev-version of plugin.zip

[!Note] Please, copy with manifest — it would allow you to mark and ignore possible updates for UNITADE on time of testing dev-build.

Small clarifications on the fixes in the plugin:

Previously, the "paste" action was triggered twice, once by Monaco itself, and the second time by my incorrect interpretation of the logic of these triggers, roughly speaking, I told Monaco to perform the paste, when it already knew about it and did it;
Now addKeyEvents (__keyHandler), i.e. the function for working with hotkeys registers the keypress loader in the editor window, not the application (previously window was specified, now this.containerEl) - in fact, this should isolate "listening" to keybinds outside the code editor; 2.1) Accordingly, I also changed the unloading of all these listeners; 2.2) a condition was added to the listener that further isolates keystrokes:

if (this.getViewType() !== 'codeview') return;

2.3) force vanilla paste now uses the built-in trigger (action) for pasting from Monaco itself, instead of a custom function— now it seems that pasting with this feature should be at the native level, the code now looks like this:

if (this.plugin.settings.code_editor_settings.force_vanilla_paste)
	this.monacoEditor.addCommand(monaco.KeyMod.CtrlCmd | monaco.KeyCode.KeyV, 
	() => this.monacoEditor.trigger('', 'editor.action.clipboardPasteAction', null));

I would try another ways to repeat your bugs with this/without this dev-build.

Status update: Using ONLY the UNITADE plugin, I was able to get the same bug, but unfortunately I was unable to reproduce it either on the devbuild or on the same version of the plugin.

Surprisingly, even with a complete repetition of the situation and changing various parameters of the moment when the bug appeared - it does not give a result.

Now there is an instruction to repeat the bug, I still don't understand WHY this happens, but for the future:

download the UNITADE plugin;
create a new file with the extension integration (code editor extension);
copy any code (I did this from a third-party source);
paste it into the file;
create a new markdown file;
copy any text (I did this from a third-party source);
paste into your markdown file;

After that, the text will be duplicated.

@WarmWelcome tested on dev-build, bug fixed, please check on your machine and if fix is successful I will merge pull request and release new version with these fixes.

How do I install the dev build? Sorry for the dumb question.

This instruction would be little obscure, but:

Install devbuild itself (ZIP or differentiated files): either by link provided in this issue (not the release tag) OR download files from tag: https://github.com/Falcion/UNITADE.md/releases/tag/v3.2.5-devbuild.05%2F15%2F2025
Open your vault, "Settings → Community plugins", you would see list of your plugins, you can open .plugins folder of your vault, see the image:

you would see an explorer with folders for each plugins specifically, we are interested in unitade folder:

open it and paste contents of installed devbuild (files main.js, styles.css and manifest.json), replace source files for plugin.
close your app and re-open it, we need to start UNITADE from scratch with OBSIDIAN's pipeline;
now, you would see in plugin's list UNITADE as dev-version with specified information:

[!Note] After trying to reproduce the bug, you could reinstall plugin. IMPORTANT: remember to backup your data.json to not lose any settings!

I'm sorry for possible "demanding" vibe, is there any updates on bugfix and etc.? — If it is case in some lower level of priorities (for example, if you have a life, work and etc. - everything which IS more important than this issue), I could possibly ask to test this dev-build by other users and possibly early-merge so when the issue will reoccur you could re-open this ticker or create new, as you wish.

No worries asking, and so sorry for the delay (again). I am currently moving and rushing projects that I need done here to the finish line at the same time. It's probably best to ask other users for now, as I don't believe that I will have the time to troubleshoot for a while unfortunately :(

Thank you for being so patient looking into this by the way, you're a saint <3
