Remove drop-down menu so you can still use Command+K and Command+V to add a hyperlink
Using Command+K and then Command+V to easily paste a hyperlink onto selected text is common practice for web writing. With HubSpot's new process for adding hyperlinks, you have to manually select your option (such as "URL") from a drop-down menu before you can paste the URL. This adds an added layer of complication to something that used to be so easy. I suggest HubSpot remove this unnecessary drop-down menu.
Earlier this year, before the new design rolled out to the link editor, adding hyperlinks was even faster. You could hit CMD+K and then CMD+V instantly, and the link would work.
Once the new design rolled out, something changed. It looked more or less the same, but the functionality was different. There was about a one second pause when entering links, which sometimes led to pasting the URL directly into some content. Gross.
With the new design and dropdown menu mentioned above, we've taken a turn down a dark alleyway of usability. It's now extremely cumbersome to add links. What used to be instant now takes several clicks and more steps. It's an unnecessary piece of friction. Although I would like this to be changed, it's more important to understand how the user performs this action. As mentioned above, CMD+K is expected with web functionality these days. Most of us don't even think about it - we just expect it to work.
I'm quite shocked this functionality isn't standard in HS. Please fix, very much a time waster clicking on the link.
