 In Gutenberg, if you have something selected text and do standard CTRL+V
 (with text in clipboard), it does not replace selected text as any other
 windows program in history would do, but it creates a link with the
 clipboard as the URL address. This goes against all good programming
 practices.

 If i may recommend - i would go to e.g. CTRL+SHIFT+K (as CTRL+K is
 standard Add link shortcut), or even better - if it is possible to detect
 the content of the content of the clipboard - the standard CTRL+K might be
 used in cases, when there is a URL or email address in the clipboard (with
 adding mailto: for email).
