Option to paste amount when requesting/sending #141
Description
Sometimes requested/sent amounts are from another source (e.g. you need to add numbers in a calculator app and enter that into the Amount field). Currently, the only way to do that is via memorization and manual input, which is not smooth.
I propose an option to be able to past values into the Amount field from the clipboard. Intuitively, this could work by long-tapping the Amount field and displaying a pop-up button. The operation would be successful only if the clipboard contains a number. A successful pasting would overwrite any previously entered value.

Did you try putting in the QR code the address + amount? It is pretty standard, something like this:

I'm not sure I got my point across to you. But if I did, your suggestion would be quite a kludgy way of going about it. I just want to be able to copy a number and paste it in the Amount field. Making a QR code, acquiring a second screen and scanning from that would be unnecessarily complex.

My suggesting works when you are outside of the app, it might now work in your case.
The amount field does not work like a
EditText, I got your point.
