I *knew* I should have included this in the newsletter when he posted it. I have failed you all again. Commonly-supported Windows shortcuts for pasting without formatting - The Old New Thing[^]

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.

"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:

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.

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.

Old dogs Unite! Me too. I'll have to try this later on this morning. I wonder can you teach puppies too?
I doubt it. From my experience, 'puppies' would say "what is keyboard shortcut? I just right-click...." :| But Marc, thanks for that reminder of a shortcut I always forget about. I LOVE keyboard shortcuts - I had to especially learn them when first using Excel 2.1 on a runtime version of Windows with no mouse. :cool:

The "Bell" character. Back in my days of setting up DOS based POS machines, we used that code to pop the cash drawer.
Yep. When I last worked in Retail, we were still using it to trip the drawer latch. Computers don't beep like they used to, but most drawers have a little bell that sounds when they open. I believe the original use was to alert a teletype operator of a new incoming message. I just enjoyed using it to send to the boss' terminal to annoy him.
