        But but but that’s unacceptable!

        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!

      Not always (looking angrily at you Outlook, meanwhile your brother Excel excels (ha!) at doing this while inputting data).

          ??
          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)
