I have to use the Mac plain paste shortcut all the time: shift+option+command+v (Ctrl+shift+v in windows, not sure about Linux) Definitely a helpful shortcut!

  Didn’t know OS’s had their own native plain paste shortcut. I’ll start using this, thanks!

  I wish "paste without formatting" was the default, and you had to use the contortionist keyboard shortcut to include formatting.

    You can change it, modify the key mapping like so: https://www.makeuseof.com/tag/copy-paste-text-without-formatting-mac/ https://www.makeuseof.com/tag/copy-paste-text-without-format...

  For the cases were software or OS doesn’t support native plain text paste I create a similar shortcut in Keyboard Maestro (macOS) or AutoHotKey (Windows). As an extra measure I configure the macro to automatically type the text and not use the direct clipboard paste. This takes care of the situations were the app prohibited pasting.

  Wow, that requires a lot of fingers. It's like an OS and fighting game all in one.

  Mac Shortcuts are a nightmare, jeez.
