- quitit 4y agoThis is the real tip.
- hbn 4y agoThere isn't that much practical reason to include the shadow though. In fact it tends to just make the important stuff smaller when sharing with someone because there's a bunch of border space surrounding the content, and whatever they're viewing in will show all of that unless they zoom in.
- chrisseaton 4y agoThere's no contrast between a white window and a white background if you don't have the shadow.
- kzrdude 4y agoIf screenshots are a part of the daily workflow, changing the setting makes everything easier
- lostlogin 4y agoWish I could change copy/paste to always work without copying style.
- DavideNL 4y agoDo you mean regular clipboard text? You can do that with: ⇧ ⌥ ⌘ V This is not necessarily supported everywhere though...
- lostlogin 4y agoOh you can usually for sure, it’s just a bit too close to a gymnastic manoeuvre. I also believe it should be the copy that strips the style.
- bfelbo 4y agoYou can add a global keyboard shortcut that makes this command much easier. I’ve done it and life is so much better now.

- kzrdude 4y agoSome kind of clipboard manager should be able to munge it that way (Ok, it's 15 years since I wrote clipboard code in "OS X") - a background app and clipboard manager that basically removes style info from the items on the clipboard.
- shrikant 4y agoReally wish this was the default, with an option to turn on "paste with formatting". It'd be interesting to see with telemetry how many users choose that. FWIW, in my many decades of using computers, I've never once wanted to paste with styles as whatever app is getting pasted into inevitably (without exception, like 100% of the time) "guesses" the formatting incorrectly.
- lostlogin 4y agoThere were some amazing workarounds to the default discussed her recently. One suggested pasting into the browser url field then copying and pasting out of it. The default is crazy.
