option to strip out text formatting by default

[dportabella]

I almost always want to copy and paste plain text only, so ideally I'd like the possibility to copy and paste plain text by pressing the standard Command-C + Command-V. And then, in the rare cases where I do want formatting, I'd be fine with pressing more than two keys/buttons.

Is it possible to achieve this in ClipMenu? or a feature request?

For info, you can achieve it with this other application with the option "Paste formatted text: off". https://fiplab.com/apps/copyclip-for-mac

Just to clarify:

I almost always want to copy and paste plain text (so, I want to always strip out formatting).

I can do this without any special software by: 1- Command-C 2- Shift+Alt+Command-V.

But that's a lot of keys. I would rather achieve the same with only pressing: 1- Command-C 2- Command-V

Is it possible to configure ClipMenu to achieve this with only Command-C + Command-V? or add this as a feature request?

I do this with Alfred’s clipboard manager.

Copy = the usual CMD+C Paste-formatted = the usual CMD+V Paste-without-formatting = CMD+SHIFT+V

It’s in muscle-memory now. :)

I found this post: http://ask.metafilter.com/187733/OSX-How-to-copy-plaintext-always-everywhere-without-exception without installing any software, I changed the key shortcut of Command-V to "Paste and Match Style", and then the Shift-Alt-Command-V to "Paste".
