A CKEditor plugin which prevents users to paste an image into the editor.
Why?
Because If you copy/paste an image directly into CKEditor, it converts it into base64 and the code is saved to the database, like so: <img alt="" src="data:image/png;base64, lots and lots of characters />.
This can cause various problems and generally is not desirable.
Known issues
There might be issues in IE/Edge regarding drag and drop functionality. Please report any bugs.
Alternative approach
You could also block img all together by removing them from allowed tags in the formats config. But then you might still have an issue with a "full html" format which also is able to use the editor.
CKEditor 5
This module might not be needed with CKEditor 5. See #3355912: CKEditor 5 support for details.
