If it'd also optionally (default=true) strip text formatting from copy/paste that'd be epic. No more copy-from-browser-then-paste-into-notepad-then-copy-from-notepad-then-paste-into-email-or-chat



What matthberg said. I'm on a Mac and I use shift-cmd-V frequently (more often than cmd-V).

Unfortunately, there are a few apps that use cmd-opt-shift-V instead of cmd-shift-V. You can fix most of them using this:

After that, almost everything will use cmd-shift-V. However, Microsoft Word is still broken, apparently because it uses a slightly different command that does a similar thing, "Paste and Match Formatting". Haven't found a way to fix that yet.


Linux.


In a good few applications that is exactly what Ctrl+Shift+V does. Try it in Chrome or Firefox, it pastes without formatting.
