An old habit that I still give into when needing to quickly de-format in browser: paste into the URL bar and copy that.
Works across browsers/OS so I don't need to think about it.
- noseratio 6y agoHow do you deal with multi-line text, Notepad? :)
- mft_ 6y agoI’ve used Notepad for decades for exactly this. Usually to cope with MS Office’s issues around formatting pasted text.
- noseratio 6y agoMe too, plus PureText. The latter didn't always work for me, especially with the frequent Windows 10 updates lately. I know many people happily use Ditto Clipboard Manager, but I just wanted a simple app which I could quickly tweak as needed. It only strips the formatting if the Clipboard content is TextDataFormat.Rtf or TextDataFormat.Html, so far that has worked very well for me.
- strombofulous 6y agoJust a heads up, chrome will phone home the contents of the URL bar. So make sure you only do this in firefox/ungoogled chromium/etc
- interestica 6y agoYeah, a bad habit. Does the content get sent if 'auto completion' predictive search is turned off?
- noseratio 6y agoWin+E, then Alt+D could be an alternative, that will take you to the Windows Explorer address bar. In my app, Alt+Ins pops up a text editor (a-la Notepad) with the clipboard content already pasted.
- purplecats 6y agothis is... very good to know. yikes.
