Clear and concise description of the problem
Thank you for creating AnyType!
In the editor, if I have an empty Block with a particular style, e.g., Bulleted List or Title, and I paste without formatting (cmd-shift-v on mac), then the Block transforms into a Text styled block and the text is pasted. This is different behavior from every other editor I have used (MS Word, Google Docs, Notion, GitHub) where the pasted text adopts the current styling of the block.
Suggested solution
Like those other systems, I think AnyType should not change the style of the current Block to Text when pasting without formatting.
Alternative
No response
Additional context
Here is a screen capture of that behavior. Pasting without formatting into a non-empty Block is OK. All pastes were done with cmd-shift-v to remove formatting.

I suspect this is where the behavior is determined: https://github.com/anyproto/anytype-heart/blob/7001a695b1729fd2b430b82417227ffd1db2f5fc/core/block/editor/clipboard/paste.go#L135-L144
If changing this behavior makes sense, I am happy to take a stab at it.
