While there definitely are good use cases where rich text clipboard should be supported, for me personally a major use case requires eliminating rich text - where I'm frequently pasting some data from some web system into e.g. a word document and I want to explicitly paste just the text, because it really does not matter what styling the web page used for some ID. Word's "Paste Special"->"Unformatted text" is horribly inconvenient, so currently I just paste it in my text editor and re-copy it, ensuring that only the text remains in the clipboard.
- CyberShadow 5y agoI don't have Microsoft Word, but most applications allow pasting just text using the shortcut Ctrl+Shift+V. Edit: I see Microsoft Word doesn't natively have that shortcut, but there are two ways to "implement" it here: https://superuser.com/questions/988527/how-can-i-use-ctrl-shift-v-to-paste-plain-non-formatted-text-into-a-word https://superuser.com/questions/988527/how-can-i-use-ctrl-sh... Removing rich text formats is a good idea for a clipboard manager feature/plugin, though.
