I'm not sure what version got this, but there's a setting now where you can disable auto-conversion and it's amazing.

Holy crap, that's amazing - I can't believe it would take this long! I presume straight up numbers are no longer affected, too, but I'm almost willing to trust it and try it out...
Yeah it stops converting numbers too. At my job we have a lot of ids that start with 0, and it was super annoying to have '000123' turn into '123', now it keeps it as text.
That might just be the top tool of the week, then!
