New clipboard solution for pasting coordinates needs a lot of extra steps

Hi,

since the lastest change how coordinates are handled to add them from clipboard I have a lot of extra steps instead it was all the long time ago.

I often copy coordinates from other tools /websites / or whatever sometimes they look like this:

N 48° 46.3A8' E 009° 10.684' or like this N48 27.627 | E8 28.272

Up until now I pasted them from clipboard and in locus there was a field to edit them to the final value.

Now I have to open an editor paste it there, edit it to the right format put it back into the clipboard, switch to locus and add it. This are a lot of extra steps instead it was solved all the years ago.

Please make it more comfortable - currently it is a big step backwards.

Thanks Wolfgang

Hi Wolfgang,

I copied the coords N 48° 46.3A8' E 009° 10.684' into my Slack. I long-tapped it in my phone and copied it to the clipboard. I opened Locus Map and pasted it into the search box. Here's the result:

Is it really that complicated?
