I’m surprised Windows does not already have a native paste without formatting shortcut a la cmd + option + shift + v on macOS.

  I thought Ctrl-Shift-V did indeed do that? Might be app-specific.

    Yep this usually works in browsers and Electron-based apps. Not a standard Windows hotkey.

  Even if it does, there are people who think that keeping style information is historical inertia, and that, if it were invented today, the default would be to strip style info from the text, moving “paste, keeping text style” to the more complex key combination. I think I agree with them, but fear a bit that some users might never discover that style can be pasted.

    I have an option in the app's tray menu to temporarily disable the format stripping (with a timeout).
