defaulting to text item when pasting infromation in?

When I add items manually to the tree, it is usually a folder. So the default child template for a folder is another folder.

But when I paste text from another application into UR, those items appear as folders. I'd prefer them to be text items.

Is there any way to default pasted objects as text items?

Another work around is to be able to create keyboard shortcuts such that "insert" puts in the default child item, but something like ctrl+insert puts in a text child item. Etc. (I've tried customizing the toolbars but with no luck.)

I know that I can reset the default child item to text, then manually click on insert, scroll down to folder, to add a folder. But with apps like these, decreasing the transaction costs of assimilating data is crucial--getting rid of a few clicks and scrolls makes all the difference between keeping an app or moving on to another.

Thanks.
