Insert document from JSON

The Insert Document dialog requires you to enter keys/values one by one. If you already have a document in JSON format, it is time consuming to add it field by field. There should be a way to paste a complete JSON document into the dialog so it can be added to a collection.

    That is exactly one of the things JSON mode does in Compass 1.20. You can even insert multiple documents at once, just paste them in as an array.
