Suggestion for links.

People copy links in their entirety, so the http entry has to be erased before pasting the URL.

Nobody uses http these days, and browsers warn against it (sadly, that hides the historical internet) so why not eliminate the pre-stuffed text, or select it all so that a paste operation can be done in one step?

I do this a lot, so every step eliminated makes life easier.

TIA.

Yeah you're right, that inserted "http" is outdated and probably doesn't need to be there. I'll ask Elad to remove it. Thanks for the suggestion.
