Not sure if this’ll solve it, but you can add shift to you paste command (i.e. cmd + shift + v or ctrl + shift + v) to paste without source formatting. It’s been very helpful for me.
If you’re actually typing and want it to not automatically format then, after it changes the formatting on you, immediately hit backspace. Then continue typing.
Like, if you type an > and it changes to the quote format, then just hit backspace to undo that change to quote format, but it leaves the > there. The typing of the character, which changes the format, creates two actions. One is the insertion of the character. The second is the changing of the format. Hitting backspace once will undo that format change only.
For pasting, shift-control-V usually works. However, if it doesn’t for you, then create a “raw HTML block” and paste your content in there. The raw HTML block uses no formatting of any kind, and it doesn’t edit what you type into it. However, it doesn’t auto format at all so you won’t get a format that looks good in HTML. You may want to use a “code block” instead.
The thing is, the editor has to convert what you type into HTML, or it will look bad on a web page, which is actually made out of HTML. The old “classic” editor did the same thing, just in a different way. The block editor is much better at it.
