Custom hotkey to trigger simple plaintext clipboard script, couldn’t live without it.
(“Script“ is a scary word for many of us but you probably only ever see the code once or instead use some free open source clipboard manager that has “replace clipboard with plain text“ built-in.)

Anyway you’re right, I probably still use a similar workaround once a week!
Neither.
I juat don’t really care as I’ll use the start menu to strip it.
Amd (at least ony machine at home and work, the default behavior is to strip the format and write plain text
Notepad’s sole purpose is to remove formatting from copied text.
it’s where most people started learning html
ctrl+shift+v is your friend
Doesn’t work everywhere…
Unsurprisingly Microsoft products are the least consistent with it
But but but that’s unacceptable!

Not always (looking angrily at you Outlook, meanwhile your brother Excel excels (ha!) at doing this while inputting data).
Fuck excel. The default should be to leave whatever the fuck I paste in there alone. If I want you to reformat shit I’ll tell you to reformat it.
??
Everytime I paste something it there, the formatting (for better or for worse) stays on whatever the source was.
But at least you can use the CTRL + Shift + V to paste it unformatted (Unlike Outlook)
Try doing upc codes and see how you feel about it.
Oh yeah…Data type pasting is…Interesting :p
Is it annoying enough you’d actually want to try fixing it or is the Notepad workaround good enough?
Neither.

that doesn’t usually work when copying between different Microsoft products. it always fucks it up somehow or simply doesn’t let you
That command gives me a bunch of more hoops to jump through
It still does that job perfectly fine.
You can use Neovim (or any CLI text editor) for that
