By default, CLion automatically inserts backslash escape symbols (\) when you paste text into a JavaScript string. Clear the checkbox to suppress automatic text escaping.

By default, when you copy a piece of HTML code with class attributes or on-event handlers and paste it into JSX, CLion automatically replaces these attributes with React-specific ones (className, onClick, onChange, and so on.)

To copy HTML code to JSX "as is", clear the checkbox or use Paste Simple CtrlAltShift0V.

By default, the checkbox is selected and a leading asterisk character (*) is automatically inserted when you paste a code fragment into a selection within a JSDoc comment.

In some cases, adding an asterisk in preposition may break formatting or make JSDoc comments hard to read. To suppress adding asterisks automatically on pasting code snippets, clear the Escape JSDoc leading asterisks on copy and paste checkbox.
