how do i paste unformatted text (meaning paste text without the formatting)?
Zeynel Admin says in reply to Silvy : 4 years ago 10/25/2021 10:57 AM
It seems there isn't a direct shortcut for this. You can assign a shortcut to "PasteTextOnly" or do the following:

1. Press Ctrl + V to paste formatted text.
2. Press Ctrl (and release) to open paste context menu.
3. Press T to select "Keep text only".

How do i assign such a shortcut
Zeynel Admin says in reply to Silvy : 4 years ago 10/25/2021 2:42 PM
- Right click ribbon, click Customize the Ribbon
- Click "Customize" button next to the "Keyboard shortcuts" label.
- On Categories (left) column, click "All Commands"
- On Commands (right), find "PasteTextOnly" and assign a new shortcut (by clicking empty "Press new shortcut" area and pressing the shortcut.

This worked for me.
