    "Paste as plain text" How have I been a Windows (and probably works in other OS's as well?) for years and years and not know that keyboard shortcut? So useful, as I copy and paste stuff all the time. Not code! Things like a Teams message into an email, or vice versa, or quote that I'm citing in an essay, or something in Excel to an email, ... the list goes on. Well, I guess you can teach an old dog a new trick. :laugh:

    Hmmm...I have Wordpad open, with some text that contains bolded items. Ctrl-C to copy, open a new instance of Wordpad, Ctrl-Shift-V to paste as plain text...nope, the formatting is still there. What are you copying from, and to?

      It does not work in everything. Hell, Word doesn't support it and you'd think that it should!

        I remember when it was Shift-Insert to paste. Which still works. :laugh:

          I'd rather not have known instead of being made aware that I have been ignoring something so useful all these years. Ignorance is a bliss...

              Quote:

              This opens the Run dialog, pastes the clipboard into the edit box, then copies the text back out.

              Ok, that is seriously weird (like his other Ctrl+F solution) - to open something with an edit box. Good grief.

                      I have long used plain notepad for that, format free and no special chars used by scammers (like the russian letter that looks like an "a"). Then came MS and screw it up... :doh: :sigh:

                      M.D.V. ;) If something has a solution... Why do we have to worry about?. If it has no solution... For what reason do we have to worry about? Help me to understand what I'm saying, and I'll explain it better to you Rating helpful answers is nice, but saying thanks can be even nicer.

                          Windows key + V will give you a history of things to paste. I found this very useful in the age of VSCode or 'Find is this only tooling that works'

                                      The "Bell" character. Back in my days of setting up DOS based POS machines, we used that code to pop the cash drawer.

                                        "Paste as plain text" How have I been a Windows (and probably works in other OS's as well?) for years and years and not know that keyboard shortcut? So useful, as I copy and paste stuff all the time. Not code! Things like a Teams message into an email, or vice versa, or quote that I'm citing in an essay, or something in Excel to an email, ... the list goes on. Well, I guess you can teach an old dog a new trick. :laugh:

                                        In Word, you can use Ctrl-Shift-C and Ctrl-Shift-V to copy and paste the formatting only. Quite useful since Word's styles are so useless now days.

                                          I remember when CTRL-G made the PC beep, a relic from the days when teletypes ruled the world. I guess nobody told the designers of sound cards about backward compatibility.

                                          You have to send it to the stdout for the beep. I used to add that to long batch files to alert me at certain steps like: “Insert next floppy”
