Would be great if you could replace the original Shift + Option + Cmd + V shortcut with your extra features.

@bulygind So many of us are prone to use this when copypastaing through our workflow. Therefore, this feature is a must.

@zlatty @bulygind who's building that??

Was going to hunt FormatMatch, which is what I've been using to strip the format from text for years... But looks like it's not available anymore ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ On the plus side, I just downloaded Plain Clip and it works great! I like that it can just be on in the background, and you can choose when to remove the formatting.

@nivo0o0 looks like a handy app—I end up stripping formatting all the time! Out of interest, how does it differ from a regular 'Paste Without Formatting' key combos on the Mac? Other than probably working better :D

@jakeapeters I never remember the shortcut for that, but good point... Now that I'm looking at it through (and per the product image) there is a "automatically clear formatting" option -- which is like what I had when using FormatMatch -- which is quite useful depending on the task that you're doing. It's a small mac app in the background, useful to have imo 💁

@nivo0o0 you can set your own combo in Settings > Keyboard I think 😁 But I still think this app's great—doesn't take up much space, don't need to think about it.

I've been using clip menu which does that and more! https://www.producthunt.com/tech...

@ohadisohad @supermombartz Just downloaded! Love the snippets feature. Have you guys found anything else even better? Streak CRM has some cool ones where you can literally type any command, ex. S1 and a snippet of text will appear...

Why not just CMD+SHIFT+V?
Lindsay Lamb
So cool! I use Command + Alt + Shift + V, but this rocks!
Patrick Coombe
Cool, my method for this is Ctrl+A - Ctrl+ C then Ctrl+V to notepad then CTRL+A - Ctrl+c again to remove formatting

@patrickcoombe Wish this was on windows. I'll still be pasting to my browser's search bar to remove formatting.

PureText is a good Windows equivalent.

From the screenshots, this looks identical to Get Plain Text (http://zipzapmac.com/GetPlainText) which I've used for a few years. Is one a pirated version of the other or is this based off something open source?

Not sure how the usability is but there have been multiple times when I copy and paste something from a website to a Word doc, and it brings the styling along with it (font, color, etc.). Assuming this is easy to use, would be nice...although it may not be that big of pain for me to change my process flow
