Ask HN: Browser Address Bar is my text formatting remover, What's yours?
- ryan-duve 4y agoCtrl+Shift+v pastes from the clipboard while sufficiently removing the formatting for most of my use cases.

- zorr 4y agoI use control-shift-V for pasting without formatting. When in doubt I will paste it first in gedit.

- darinpantley 4y agoI used Win+R for many years until I read: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=28598474 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=28598474 Now I use Notepad or Ctrl+Shift+v. One advantage to using Notepad is that it reveals newlines in your paste data very clearly, so you can select a substring if needed.
- LocalH 4y agoThe Run box is safe, although not useful for multi-line content. That tweet (now deleted) was referring to the Start menu search box. “You are correct. This traffic was not generated by typing text into the "run box", it was generated by typing text into the "start menu box". We are very sorry for the confusion this has caused.”

- Tagbert 4y agoI’ve always got BBEdit open and a quick New file from clipboard command creates the document. I can either recopy that or do some adjustment and then recopy. It’s a little more effort than using the browser address bar, but I can more easily see and fix problems.
