OneNote is 💩

Like many Microsoft products, I do not care for OneNote at all. I dislike the text placement box, I hate the organization that is vaguely skeuomorphic and mimics a physical notebook. I just don't like it. But today I am going to present some absolute stupidity. This stupidity may be limited to a half-assed web version of OneNote, I have no idea because I don't use the "real" version.

Let's say one wishes to paste in some text from some other application. You could, of course, highlight text in the other application, then hit ctrl-c. Then pop back over to shitty OneNote page and CTRL-V the text right in there. Pretty normal stuff. Well, let's suppose for some stupid reason you got the bright idea to right-click in the onenote canvas and thought, oh...well there is a "Paste" command in the context menu, imma go ahead and click that.

And instead of your text just magically getting stuck in your document, you get this shit:

For some stupid reason, instead of just pasting the fucking text (just pretend I clicked ctrl-v) it chastises you with this message that you can use the keyboard shortcuts. Well gee thanks. I mean, I already know that but for some reason I clicked the context menu and you presented me with the option that I wanted so I clicked on it. Why couldn't you just fucking do your job context menu?

Even more annoying is that there is a "Paste text only" option. Which is nice since office products in particular love to grab extra formatting and fuck that all up. But guess what? It gives you the same pop-up and...what's that? No option to actually even "Paste text only". So you gave me false hope of being able to do a thing that by that pop-up isn't even possible. Which means you would have to even more unintuitively open notepad, paste in your text there and then copy from there.

While I'm blaming OneNote for being shitty (which it is), I think ultimately what is happening is that it is trying to access the clipboard in ways that Firefox is blocking, and instead of intelligently handling that (like greying out the options or something. I'd probably still be mad that the paste options aren't available, but I think actually handling the case is better) it instead presents this message.
