Not entirely true, Paul. You can copy the plain-text Markdown code out of each article in ‘Edit’ mode (granted that’s less convenient than a proper export option). And you don’t need to copy and paste web pages: you can either drag and drop the URL from your browser’s address bar onto Keep Everything, or use the option to import from URL (invoked by simply copying the URL), or import portions of web pages directly from the clipboard. It’s all there in the ‘Add data’ button (the cross-shaped icon above the notes list). The iOS version automatically pastes anything copied to the clipboard (as soon as it opens). I’ve never yet had to use a paste function in Keep Everything (desktop or iOS)!
