I wish "paste without formatting" was the default, and you had to use the contortionist keyboard shortcut to include formatting.

Didn’t know OS’s had their own native plain paste shortcut. I’ll start using this, thanks!

For the cases were software or OS doesn’t support native plain text paste I create a similar shortcut in Keyboard Maestro (macOS) or AutoHotKey (Windows).

As an extra measure I configure the macro to automatically type the text and not use the direct clipboard paste. This takes care of the situations were the app prohibited pasting.

Wow, that requires a lot of fingers. It's like an OS and fighting game all in one.

Mac Shortcuts are a nightmare, jeez.
