- belval 6y agoThis is the same on Windows and Linux afaik you have Ctrl + Shift + V. Still makes me angry because it's a stupid default.
- tgb 6y agoIt's not universal on Windows: for example it doesn't work in MS Word. The place I'd want it the most! Ctrl+Shift+V does nothing at all there. It's Alt-HVT for this in Word (duh). But you can set the default to be no-formatting.
- ayemiller 6y agoThe following is almost a reflex for me: Win+R -> notepad -> Ctrl+v -> Ctrl+a -> Ctrl+c
- Nition 6y agoIt works in LibreOffice but it pops up a window asking you which sort of paste you want, which wastes more time.
- gxqoz 6y agoIn most Office apps you can make this Alt + 1 by setting "Paste As Plain Text" as position 1 in the Quick Access Toolbar (the small list of icons in the top left of the app). But yes, would love for this to be a universal Windows command.
