Do you mean markdown vs rich text? Or can it paste markdown, plain text, and rich text?

No, the setting is Preferences > Editor > Default copy behavior

When i turn it off (default) and copy/paste into notepad it only pastes plain text with no markdown.

When i turn it on and copy paste into notepad it retains the markdown formatting characters (*'s, ```'s and etc...)

Pasting into MS Word (a rich text editor) always pastes as rich text regardless of the setting

Shift-[Cmd/Ctrl]-C seems to always copy markdown plaintext.
