Ctrl + Shift + V pastes without formatting on Windows
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.
I’ve been on Windows since 3.0 and only recently learned that. Use it almost every day now.
Ctrl + Shift + V should paste without formatting, but for some reason Microsoft Office software (Outlook, Word, Publisher) refuses to follow this standard.
Can anyone confirm if that keeps Jira from doing that “uploading an image” thing when pasting text?

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.
Not in the new one. It had one job and it does it badly now.
Get off notepad nightlies.
It’s that the one that wants me to use it’s AI editor?
I maintain a small business website with notepad. HTML in the raw.
Here’s the deal Notepad, we can’t trust MS Word to remove all the nonsense.
look mate some of us just like fonts. don’t kinkshame
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
Every text editor removes formatting, plain txt files don’t have any format. but text editors, like Notepad are very usefull to edit eg, config files or scripts, where isn’t desirable to change the original format. There are apps way more useless than Notepads-
I just the other day edited a Steam config file with some wacky file extension by cracking it open in notepad. Bless plain text.
I fuckin love Notepad. No decorations, no flourish, just me and my raw thoughts
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.
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.
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.
lol too good
Super + R.
