Hi, auto-linking isn't supported in CKEditor 5. Please, see the feature request to learn more.

@Mgsy But it is working when I paste the link with Ctrl + V... The problem is when I do the steps above.

That's because Ctrl + Shift + V pastes the content as plain text. It means that it removes all the formatting and leaves only text. So, the editor treats inserted link as normal text which shouldn't be converted to link (and the mentioned feature from the request may handle this case).
