Just cause its the holiday season I've submitted a feature request to implement a plain text paste using the shortcut ctrl-shift-v as used in chromium based browsers.

Back then I got the reply

Unfortunately it's not currently possible. I will submit a feature request on your behalf so that this is considered for implementation in a future release.
Haven't heard anything since and didn't get a reference number.
Its not in 16.1, where paste seems to work worse than 15 when pasting from tables, with all the text disappearing on save

A keyboard shortcut (Ctrl-shift-V like in Gmail) would be cool as well.

Since ctrl-shift-v has been in major browsers it seems like forever (e.g. Chrome, Edge),
and even Microsoft have finally buckled under 2 decades of pressure

surely it can't be far away.


This will certainly be of major benefit when pasting from tables, where the control that manages the text dialog box is incapable of extracting the textual content.

I use an AutoHotkey script mapped to ctrl+shift+v that pastes clipboard contents as plain text. Works in all applications.
