Ctrl + Shift + V pastes without formatting on Windows
Sadly, doesn’t work everywhere. Sometimes, this is still necessary.
Funny enough, I’ve found Microsoft apps are the most inconsistent with this functionality
Yeah this doesn’t work anywhere in Office apps
Never in my entire life have I wanted to paste with formatting into a word doc, and you always have to click the stupid little clipboard icon after you paste to undo it.
Ctrl + Alt + V
Yes and after learning of the shortcut, it actually makes me angrier when I get formatted text.
Ctrl + Win + Alt + V works everywhere I’ve tried it.
Linux too, at least in most applications I’ve tried. Some will ask you when you ctrl+shift+v if you want to paste formatted or unformatted text.
Ctrl + Shift + V should paste without formatting, but for some reason Microsoft Office software (Outlook, Word, Publisher) refuses to follow this standard.
I’ve been on Windows since 3.0 and only recently learned that. Use it almost every day now.
Same, I’ve been using PCs with Microsoft operating systems since fuckin’ MS-DOS 3.2 and I only learned about it a couple years ago.
Can anyone confirm if that keeps Jira from doing that “uploading an image” thing when pasting text?
I don’t think it’s OS dependent.
Is there something like this for Mac users that have this stupid behavior ported over through the MS Office suite?
CMD + Shift + V
Ctrl shift v
It’s not 100% accurate though. It’s app dependant, sometimes it work (most of the time) but in some app it won’t (office?)
I got Pure Text from Windows Store. Bind it to ctrl+shift+v and if now works everywhere, 100% of the time. That’s the only feature of the app.
I maintain a small business website with notepad. HTML in the raw.
“Ah, you think IDEs are your ally. But you merely adopted the lDE. I was born in Notepad, molded by it. I didn’t see syntax highlighting until I was already a man. By then, it was nothing to me but blinding!”
Someone asked me what IDE I use for python and I’m so dumb I didn’t even know what they meant. I just said whatever the fedora gnome text editor app is… who needs IDEs!
Real OG’s let their brains do the highlighting, like God intended
Oh god, I remember the days of creating webpages by hand-editing HTML in notepad. And not fondly.
I enjoyed it :(
I mean I’m not here to shit on anybody else’s good time, I just hated it myself.
There are plenty of consenting adults who would be happy to punch you in the genitals, why not just do that instead?
You’d typically want Kate rather than KWrite, if you’re gonna do development. Basically the same editor, but with more power-user features.
Not in the new one. It had one job and it does it badly now.
The new notepad is rage inducing
It’s that the one that wants me to use it’s AI editor?
I actually unironically use notepad when I need to write something down because of how quickly it opens up
I keep a notepad document of my desktop for making temporary notes on.
Just wait until the AI assistant gets added 🤢
I also appreciate that Notepad notes now don’t need to be manually saved to a file. They’re probably in temp storage somewhere, but the point is you can just write and close.
To be honest I don’t think notepad is sophisticated enough to do it, but don’t quote me on that
Wait…what…??? I thought it’s only me who use notepad to remove text formatting
Yes but you woukd not need to if you just installed Ditto clipboard manager Just press shift-enter in ditto to paste in plain text anywhere
Learn to use this and it will change your life I SWEAR

The shortcut is CTRL+~
Ha! Welcome to the club, normie! :-)
My brother in Christ, let me introduce you to ctrl+shift+v
Here’s the deal Notepad, we can’t trust MS Word to remove all the nonsense.
look mate some of us just like fonts. don’t kinkshame
Viva la Comic Sans!!!
Does anyone else use the .LOG feature?
Put .LOG at the beginning of a text file. When opened in Notepad, you should get a date & time stamp.
Open filename.txt, type something, save and close.
Now you have a journal for system and config changes, document collections, time entries, client visits, whatever. Has worked on every Windows box I ever had to use.
Windows Power Toy run provides multiple date and time generation capability in built
Nailed it, this is the only reason I’ve used notepad for years. Speaking of which, now that I’m permanently on Linux I should lfind a command line way to do this - there has to be one, if not many.
Just slap it in Geany.
You don’t need Linux or any command line tools to do this, there’s lots of apps that can strip formatting from the clipboard content, heck Windows Power Toys also comes with this feature built in, it’s just a simple keyboard shortcut
If you also want to remove line breaks, paste it into a url bar
I recently had to remove line breaks from the public key in a key pair, why did I never think of doing this
Is this something I’m too markdown/LaTeX pilled to understand?
You copy some text from a webpage and put it in your email or word processor, it copies the formating too and everything looks wonky. If you paste the clipboard content in a text editor, like notepad and copy the text from there, you strip the formating.
That is what the post is refering to.
You copy some text from a webpage and put it in your markdown/LaTeX document in your text editor, like vim. Then you use pandoc/pdf-latex to export in whatever file format you need. It never looks wonky, it looks exactly like you tell it to.
As a Mac user, in an LLM world, text editors are King.
I couldn’t do my job anymore without them.
I fuckin love Notepad. No decorations, no flourish, just me and my raw thoughts
I just paste and then copy whatever i need into the address bar of any browser and its good to go. Unless its very long.
There is a good chance that whatever you are pasting is being sent to Google.
I use Firefox with DuckDuckGo. But I do agree that Google is so pervasive in the browser space that pasting text to the URL bar without further context can be reasonably understood in most instances, as sending data to Google.
Im using safari and more recently opera, but since that is chinese now, im guessing this isnt much better :D
Huge chance. No question.
