If you're in the browser, you can also paste into the address bar... (ctrl-L ctrl-v ctrl-a ctrl-c)
Fine for oneliners but this doesn't preserve newlines
Same for me :) For a speedup, you may create a link to notepad in C:\Windows\System32 and call it "n", then you don't have to type whole "notepad" but just "n".
Control+Alt+V or Control+Shift+V in most applications that support rich text will paste without formatting.
