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 + Shift + V should paste without formatting, but for some reason Microsoft Office software (Outlook, Word, Publisher) refuses to follow this standard.
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
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.
Yeah, that was the only way that worked consistently. Buttons like “Paste Without Formatting” failed in more than a few cases.
Past tense, because it works on Linux. But I still have the old habit and use KWrite sometimes.
Shift + ctrl + v is paste without formatting
I was already done with windows, but if I hadn’t decided yet the AI in notepad definitely would have put me over the edge. That’s insane.
Yeah they just want to collect every single bit of data you have. AI is a data collection tool. A reason to send everything you type or use to their servers. I swapped to Linux fully over 4 years ago and my windows 10 install is still sitting on my older SSD drive. It’s a good reminder to format that thing and use it as a backup drive in my Unraid setup.
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.
If you also want to remove line breaks, paste it into a url bar
I actually unironically use notepad when I need to write something down because of how quickly it opens up
Super + R.
So windows 11 sucks for a number of reasons, but one thing it doesn’t suck for is updating the notepad program to have autosave and being able to reopen last notes even if not saved to a file directly. Makes it actually usefull as a notepad
It does AI autocorrect to text though, which I’m not sure how I feel. It hasn’t ruined anything for me just yet, but they’re starting to try and make it automagical, which is exactly what I needed not to be.
Oh gross. I haven’t noticed that yet but will watch out for it
What is a good linux program that serves this same purpose? Specifically removing formatting from copied text.
Notepad in wine ^(/s)
gnote usually works
Vi
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.
Im using safari and more recently opera, but since that is chinese now, im guessing this isnt much better :D
