Title:
  Gwibber should have a shortcut to temporarily paste a URL without
  shortening it

Status in Gwibber:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  Since we like the auto-shortening services as a must, but sometimes
  there's some addresses we want to keep as it is (http://daltux.com as
  example), there would be great if we could paste a single address
  without the need to open the menu, the preferences window, the correct
  tab and disabling the right checkbox only to avoid the shortening
  service that time and checking it on again to reactivate it. The
  current alternative to this boring process is to type the entire
  address, "ipsis litteris", when we want to avoid the shortening
  service only that time.

  I believe a simple keyboard shortcut to paste a text bypassing the URL
  shortening could wonderfully do the job. I would say Ctrl+P, but it's
  already the shortcut to the Preferences dialog. What about Ctrl+U,
  perhaps?
