macOS has "paste as plaintext" instead.



I’ve remapped ⌘V on my work laptop to paste as plain text which works great everywhere except Outlook, which disables that in email metadata (recipients, subject).

So bloody annoying, thanks Microsoft for continuing to make my life harder than it needs to be.


Better than Gmail which automatically parses text on paste, and, as the cherry on top, even when it recognizes that and alerts on a failed parse (making a red chip), refuses to let you edit the text to fix it.
